The birds with similar appearance but not closely related was fascinating. Evolution is absolutely amazing!

Would be nice to hear their sounds included in the video.

The Wallace Line runs between Borneo and Australia where Asian flora and fauna rarely crosses and mixes with the Australian flora and fauna. If memory serves, the sea currents are very fast and the winds are often turbulent, making it harder for species to migrate.

The Wallace line is between Borneo and Sulawesi

I love woodpeckers! In the Pacific Northwest, we have Hairy and Downy woodpeckers, a few sapsuckers, and a lot of Northern Flickers, whuick are my favorites with their sad clown faces. Dull brown with spots, there is a big surprise when they open their wings, vermillion to beight yellow underneath. Ours are Red Shafted with some intergrade hybrids with Yellow Shafted. They feed on the ground and eat ants!

I'm literally watching woodpeckers at my hanging bird feeder right now! We got Downy/Hairy woodpeckers here in Pennsylvania near Valley Forge, and another slightly bigger one with a white underside and face, with a red cap and a thinly striped black-and-white back. It's got black eyes, legs and beak. I don't know what species it is, any suggestions?

Could be a Red-bellied Woodpecker! Despite the name, their belly looks white-ish from most angles, and they have a red cap and barred back.

Downy, Hairy and Pilleated are very common here, but the call really distinguishes them.

Very interesting. Woodpeckers are some of my favorite birds, but I really don't know that much about them. I have a little familiarity with some of my local American species, like the Red-Bellied and Downy (or maybe Hairy) that live in my yard, but just about all of the non-American species you showed in this video were new to me. And wow! Some of them are amazingly colorful and impressive. I'll definitely have to look into them more. Thanks for the info!
