About the Crimson-mantled Woodpecker
The crimson-mantled woodpecker (Colaptes rivolii) is a species of bird in subfamily Picinae of the woodpecker family Picidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The crimson-mantled woodpecker was originally described as Picus Rivolii. It was later placed in genus Hypoxanthus that was still later merged into Piculus; since about 2007 it has been moved into Colaptes by taxonomic systems. The American Ornithological Society, the International Ornithological Committee, and the Clements taxonomy recognize these six subspecies of crimson-mantled woodpecker: C. r. quindiuna (Chapman, 1923) C. r. zuliensis (Aveledo & Peréz, 1989) C. r. rivolii (Boissonneau, 1840) C. r. meridae (Chapman, 1923) C. r. brevirostris (Taczanowski, 1874) C. r. atriceps (Sclater and Salvin, 1876)
