Image question[edit]

I am not a bird expert, but someone who appears to be claims that two images on this page

are not Lineated Woodpeckers, but Crimson-crested Woodpeckers.

According to this site, one of the distinguishing differences is the white stripes coming to a V, which indicates the Crimson Crested Woodpecker rather than the Lineated Woodpecker.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 20:57, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for correcting (for new visitors, there were two images of a different species, which has now been removed.)--SPhilbrick (Talk) 13:23, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
