Green Woodpecker Picus viridis (2)
Green Woodpeckers are one of few birds that it is possible to differentiate the sexes in juvenile plumage. This is a juvenile male. This view shows the juvenile's extensive dark spotting on head and underparts and some of the smallish white spots on crown, moustache - red-centred on the male, and back, giving it a scaly appearance.
Thank you all foryour kind responses.
