Very few woodpeckers give a "white" impression. This is one of the exceptions: the White woodpecker! It has a black back, yellowish underbelly, orange-colored eye ring and a narrow, black stripe from the back to the eye. In the male, the stripe reaches the eye, in the female it does not reach all the way. As far as I know, this is the only difference between the sexes. It grows to 24 to 29 cm (9.4 to 11.4 in) long. The diet is varied and includes fruit, berries and seeds. Foraging often takes place in family groups. The bird also raids wild bee and wasp nests and consumes adults, larvae as well as honey. The White woodpecker occurs in eastern South America, mainly in Brazil, but, like this individual, also in northernmost Argentina.
