Pileated Woodpecker
The pileated woodpecker is about 15 inches in length and is one of the largest woodpeckers found in North America. (Only the possibly extinct Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the southeastern United States and Cuba and the Imperial Woodpecker of western Mexico are larger.)
Males and females are similar, but males have a red forehead, and females have a gray to yellowish brown forehead.
