Cardinal Woodpecker (Dendropicos fuscescens)

Sex; Male (red crown). Age; possible adult. Subspecies; possible hartlaubii but it seems to me that lepidus cannot be excluded. Udzungwa Mts, June 2007. Copyright@; Louis A. Hansen. Photo poor, however it was not until I studied it that I saw which species it was. Seen on too far distance, another advantage with digital photography.
