Observation details

Very dark woodpecker. Glossy black on back, head, and wings, grayish underparts and neck. When it flew (with direct, steady, flight) into better light, the red on the face became distinct. Photos will be added next week when we get home. Seemed to be trying to associate with a pair of unenthused LBWO. Photos by K. Collins
