Guatemalan Flicker Colaptes mexicanoides

Large, brownish woodpecker with black barring on the back and black spots on the belly. Easily recognized in flight by its bright white rump. Also note large black crescent-shaped mark on breast and brownish crown. Wings and tail flash red in flight. Typically singly or in pairs in a variety of wooded or semi-open habitats, but less often in tall, dense forest. Sometimes seen feeding on the ground in open areas, foraging for ants and worms.
