PRIMEROS REGISTROS DEL CARPINTERO CABECIRRUFO(Celeus spectabilis: Picidae) EN COLOMBIA.

We present the first records of the Rufous-headed Woodpecker (Celeus spectabilis) for Colombia, based upon a two adults photographed in southeastern Cauca Department, which extend the known range of the species by more than 170 km. The species inhabits the western Amazon basin and previously their northernmost range was to the northeast of Ecuador. The individuals were observed in a tropical riparian forest. These records extends, to the north, the range of species, and highlight the necessity of more field work in the region to complement the knowledge of the avifauna of the Andean foothills of the Amazon.
