}} The Abyssinian woodpecker (Dendropicos abyssinicus), also known as the golden-backed woodpecker or the golden-mantled woodpecker, is a species of bird in the woodpecker family, Picidae. It is native to Africa, where it occurs in Eritrea and Ethiopia.[1] It appears to be a close relative of the cardinal woodpecker Dendropicos fuscescens.[4] DescriptionThe Abyssinian woodpecker is a very small woodpecker with a relatively long and broad bill. It has a golden yellow back and mantle with a bright red rump and barred wings and barred tail, the underparts are pale and heavily streaked with black. The head is striped and the male is distinguished by having a red nape and crown. The brown stripe through the eye and the golden mantle separate this species from the related Cardinal Woodpecker.[3] It measured 16 cm in length and weighs 23–26g.[4] Distribution and habitatThe Abyssinian woodpecker is endemic to the Ethiopian Highlands from central Eritrea east to Harar in Ethiopia to the River Alata, a tributary of the Hanger River.[4] This species occurs in juniper woods and Hagenia forest, also in areas of Euphorbia, particularly between 1600m and 3000m and occasionally higher. It has also been found in wooded savanna at lower altitudes.[3] HabitsThe biology and ecology of the Abyssinian woodpecker is almost unknown. It is an unobtrusive bird which probes for food among moss growing on trees. It is thought that the nesting period probably runs between December and May.[3] Conservation statusThe Abyssinian woodpecker has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable and is currently classed as Least Concern but it is thought to be decreasing in population and contracting its range due to continuing clearance of woodlands.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{IUCN|id=22680959 |title=Dendropicos abyssinicus |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q971542}}{{DEFAULTSORT:woodpecker, Abyssinian}}2. ^{{cite web | url = https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=554011#null | title = Dendropicos abyssinicus (Stanley, 1814) | accessdate = 2016-11-06 | publisher = Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) (https://www.itis.gov) | deadurl = no | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20161107012552/https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=554011#null | archivedate = 2016-11-07 | df = }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book | last1 = Winkler | first1 =Hans | last2 = Christie | first2 = David A. | last3 = Nurney | first3 = David | year = 1995 | title = Woodpeckers A Guide to the Woodpeckers, Piculets and Wrynecks of the World | publisher = Pica Press | page = 240 | ISBN= 1-873403-25-9}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web | url = http://www.hbw.com/species/abyssinian-woodpecker-dendropicos-abyssinicus | title = Abyssinian Woodpecker (Dendropicos abyssinicus) | accessdate = 2016-11-06 | publisher = Lynx Edicions | work = Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive | deadurl = no | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20160913092250/http://www.hbw.com/species/abyssinian-woodpecker-dendropicos-abyssinicus | archivedate = 2016-09-13 | df = }} 4 : Dendropicos|Birds of the Horn of Africa|Birds described in 1814|Taxonomy articles created by Polbot |
