Spot-throated Flameback
SPOT-THROATED FLAMEBACK
Dinopium everetti
Picidae Family
Bird #186 - June 2009
There were two of them in the tree! We were in the ranger station of the Underground River to see the Palawan peacock. We decided to have a look around the forest area since the peacock seemed like it might be a no-show. Two days later, Monica and I hiked the Monkey Trail that leads from the underground river back to Sabang, passing through the mangrove area. We saw three woodpeckers in a tree!
This was originally called Common Flameback Dinopium javanense. The species occurring in Palawan was split into a new species Spot-throated Flameback Dinopium everetti. This species is confined to Palawan, Balabac, Busuanga, and Culion.
