Luzon Flameback Chrysocolaptes haematribon

A large woodpecker of lowland and foothill wooded areas on Luzon and neighboring islands, with a red back, a yellowish belly with indistinct patterning, and black on the tail, edge to the wing, neck, and chest. Note the obvious white spotting on the chest, neck, and line behind the eye. Angled crest is black with white spots in the female and red in the male. Unmistakable. The only other similarly sized woodpecker in its range is Northern Sooty-Woodpecker, which is entirely dark. Voice includes a series of short ringing notes, “ki-ki-ki-ki-ki!”
