Joseph DiCostanzo of the American Museum of Natural History, NY says. "...the woodpecker sculpture pictured
on your web page, is of a Magellanic Woodpecker (Campephilus magellanicus), which now that the Ivory-billed Woodpecker of North America and the Imperial Woodpecker of Central America are extinct, is probably the largest woodpecker in the world.
