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.[3]
Taxonomy and systematics
The crimson-mantled woodpecker was originally described as Picus Rivolii.[4] 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.[5][3][6][7][8]

Description
The crimson-mantled woodpecker is 23 to 26 cm (9.1 to 10 in) long and weighs 85 to 112 g (3.0 to 4.0 oz). Males and females have the same plumage except on their heads. Adult males of the
The other subspecies of crimson-mantled woodpecker vary little from the nominate with the exception of C. r. atriceps. Males of that subspecies have a black crown that is more extensive than the female's. Both sexes have no red on the breast and their wings are less red than those of the nominate.[10]
Distribution and habitat
The subspecies of crimson-mantled woodpecker are found thus:[3][10]
- C. r. quindiuna, Colombia's Cordillera Central
- C. r. zuliensis, the Serranía del Perijá on the Colombia-Venezuela border
- C. r. rivolii, Colombia's Cordillera Oriental into northwestern Venezuela
- C. r. meridae, the Andes of northwestern Venezuela between Trujillo and Táchira
- C. r. brevirostris, the Andes from southwestern Colombia south through Ecuador into central Peru
- C. r. atriceps, the Andes of southeastern Peru and western and central Bolivia (The range map omits this subspecies)
The crimson-mantled woodpecker inhabits the interior and edges of humid
Behavior
Feeding
The crimson-mantled woodpecker forages at any level of the forest, typically on moss- and lichen-covered limbs but also on trunks. Its primary food is small
Breeding
The crimson-mantled woodpecker's breeding season has not been defined but appears to vary geographically. One author surmised that it spans June to November in Peru and another suggested that (possibly species-wide) it includes February to March. It nests in tree cavities but nothing else is known about its breeding biology.[10]
Vocal and non-vocal sounds
What is thought to be the song of the crimson-mantled woodpecker's most widespread subspecies brevirostris is "a series of fairly monotone, rapid metallic notes...kee'r'r-ker'r-ke'r'r. The apparent song of atriceps is a "descending low churr...grr'r'r'r'l". The species also makes "a rising REE?" call. The crimson-mantled woodpecker drums, but not frequently.[10]
