Ocellated Piculet (Picumnus dorbignyanus)
About the Ocellated Piculet
The ocellated piculet (Picumnus dorbignyanus) is a species of bird in subfamily Picumninae of the woodpecker family Picidae. It is found in Bolivia and Peru and possibly Argentina. The ocellated piculet was first described in 1845 by the French ornithologist Frédéric de Lafresnaye as Picumnus d'Orbignyanus, named in honor of the French naturalist Alcide d'Orbigny. Since then the name has often been misspelled as P. dorbygnianus.
