Woodpeckers (Picidae)
Lineated Woodpecker (Dryocopus lineatus) - HBW 7, p. 526
French: Pic ouentou
German: Linienspecht
Spanish: Picamaderos Listado
Other common names: Black-mantled Woodpecker (erythrops)
Taxonomy: Picus lineatus Linnaeus, 1766, Cayenne.
Forms a superspecies with D. pileatus and D. schulzi. Interbreeds with latter. Large degree of individual variation exists among all populations. Race erythrops, previously regarded as a separate species, is perhaps only a variable morph. Additional described races are obsoletus (Sonora), petersi (Tamaulipas), mesorhynchus (Costa Rica), nuperus (Santa Marta, in N Colombia), improcerus (Bahia, in E Brazil) and fulcitus (Chaco, in Argentina), all considered insufficiently differentiated to be accepted. Five subspecies recognized.
