Greyish piculet Greyish piculet The greyish piculet ("Picumnus granadensis") is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It is endemic to Colombia. The greyish piculet is part of a superspecies with the olivaceous piculet, and may even be conspecific, or the same species. There are two described subspecies: "P. g. antioquensis" in the northern part and "P. g. granadensis" in the southern part of the range. A small woodpecker. Black cap with yellow dots. Blackish superciliary. Its natural habitats are tropical dry forest, subtropical moist forests, shade coffee plantations and heavily degraded former forest. Mostly found in the Cauca River Valley.
White-barred piculet northeastern Brazil; "P. c. thamnophiloides" found in southeastern Bolivia and northeastern Argentina; "P. c. tucumanus" found in northwestern Argentina; the Pilcomayo piculet, "P. c. pilcomayensis" found in southeastern Bolivia, Paraguay and northeastern Argentina; and the nominate subspecies "P. c. cirratus" found in southeastern Brazil, southern Mato Grosso and eastern Paraguay. The taxonomy of this species is difficult; the races "pilcomayensis", "thamnophiloides" and "tucumanus" intergrade in northern Argentina and are sometimes considered a separate species, and "pilcomayensis" intergrades with "cirratus" in eastern Paraguay. The northern subspecies, "confusus" and "macconnelli" may also be a distinct species. The white-barred piculet also hybridizes widely
