Celeus

Celeus is a genus of woodpeckers found in tropical and subtropical forests and woodland in Central and South America. Its members are:


 * Cinnamon Woodpecker, Celeus loricatus
 * Ringed Woodpecker, Celeus torquatus
 * Ochre-backed Woodpecker, Celeus ochraceus
 * Blond-crested Woodpecker, Celeus flavescens
 * Chestnut Woodpecker, Celeus elegans
 * Pale-crested Woodpecker, Celeus lugubris
 * Chestnut-colored Woodpecker, Celeus castaneus
 * Waved Woodpecker, Celeus undatus
 * Scale-breasted Woodpecker, Celeus grammicus
 * Cream-colored Woodpecker, Celeus flavus
 * Rufous-headed Woodpecker, Celeus spectabilis
 * Kaempfer's Woodpecker, Celeus (spectabilis) obrieni; formerly Caatinga Woodpecker

The South Asian Rufous Woodpecker (Micropternus brachyurus) is a peculiar species that was formerly placed in Celeus too. However, its similarity seems to be due to convergent evolution, as it does not even seem to belong to the same tribe of Picinae as Celeus does.
