The golden-olive woodpecker (Colaptes rubiginosus) is a resident breeding bird from Mexico south and east to Guyana, northwest Argentina, as well as Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. It was formerly placed in the genus Piculus.[4] The scientific name rubiginosus means "full of rust", describing the color of the bird's wings and back.

Description
The golden-olive woodpecker is 20 cm (7.9 in) long and weighs 75 g (2.6 oz). Adults are mainly golden olive above with some barring on the tail. The forecrown is grey and the hindcrown red. The face is yellow-white and the underparts are barred black and yellowish. The bill is black. Adult males have a red moustachial strip which is lacking in the female.[5]
Habitat and ecology
The habitat of this woodpecker is forests, more open woodlands and cultivation. It is most common in the mountains. Two or three white eggs are laid in a nest hole in a tree and incubated by both sexes. The young are fed by regurgitation.
Due to its habitat-mainly montane forests, separated by large rivers-it has evolved into about 20 subspecies. P. r. tobagensis from Tobago is larger and heavier-billed than P. r. trinitatis from Trinidad. Some of the South American subspecies have only very narrow yellow barring on the underparts and the Andean subspecies show a pale eye ring.
Golden-olive woodpeckers mainly eat insects, including ants and beetle larvae, with some fruit and berries. The call of this bird is a loud wheep.

El carpintero olivo o carpintero cariblanco (Colaptes rubiginosus) es una especie (o complejo de subespecies) de ave piciforme que habita desde México hasta Bolivia y el noroeste de Argentina. Desde su descripción, y hasta hace poco tiempo, se había considerado una sola especie con diferentes subespecies y poblaciones clinales a lo largo de su distribución, sin embargo, la reciente investigación genética sugiere que algunas de estas poblaciones/subespecies serían especies en sí, y más cercanas a otros pájaros carpinteros.[3][4][fr] Pic or-olive
