Pantanal: Field Flicker
Looks like an exotic kind of woodpecker to me. Just found it wilst wondering around the vast facenda (farm) where I was staying. If you go quietly the animals are so amazingly approachable.

Hi Paula,

Lovely image, great background. I might have "lost" the wire on the post.

Another stunning bird Paula :toast:

Cropped at the bottom and some space added left might be even better :wink: :wavey:
