The red-crowned woodpecker (''Melanerpes rubricapillus'') is a resident breeding bird from southwestern Costa Rica south to Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas and Tobago. This woodpecker occurs in forests and semi-open woodland and cultivation. It nests in a hole in a dead tree or large cactus. The clutch is two eggs, incubated by both sexes, which fledge after 31–33 days. Adults are long and weigh . They have a zebra-barred black and white back and wings and a white rump. The tail is black with some white barring, and the underparts are pale buff-brown. The male has a red crown patch and nape. The female has a buff crown and duller nape. Immature birds are duller, particularly in the red areas of the head and neck. Red-crowned woodpeckers feed on insects, but will take fruit and visit nectar feeders. This common and conspicuous species gives a rattling ''krrrrrl'' call and both sexes drum on territory.
