What a great looking species of woodpecker! Quite striking. What I like abou this image is the opposite leaning angles of the tree and bird, very cool. I wouldn't mind a bit less room at left, but still fine as is. The slowish 1/160s. SS has given the tip of the moving bill some some motion blur, and a bit more sharpnening for web presentation would be good...but overall sharpness is still quite impressive considering being handheld with those techs and focal lenght.

Awesome species! I really like the BG and sharpness. I'm thinking a better HA would be a big improvement, but, great job HH!

I agree about this bird been very striking. In fact it reminds me of our Lineated Woodpecker.
The bark of the tree also looks familiar, may be an Erythrina? (Fabaceae)
