Ochre-backed Woodpecker (Celeus ochraceus)
About the Ochre-backed Woodpecker
The ochre-backed woodpecker (Celeus ochraceus) is a species of bird in subfamily Picinae of the woodpecker family Picidae. It is endemic to Brazil. The ochre-backed woodpecker was long treated as a subspecies of the blond-crested woodpecker (C. flavescens), but following a 2011 publication, regional and worldwide taxonomic systems gradually moved to accept it as a full species. The ochre-backed woodpecker is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 81 recordings for this species: 68 CC BY-NC-SA · 13 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
