Lewis's Woodpecker has a green-glossed black back and red belly. It catches insects in flight and may store acorns in tree crevices.
Its back is black with a green gloss, and its belly is rose red. Red extends across the forehead, along the side of the face, and to the throat; a white band curves from the hindneck toward the breast.
It catches flying insects from high perches and also eats acorns and wild berries. It is known to store acorns in crevices and furrows in tree bark.
