The Yellow-fronted Woodpecker is a woodpecker with striking yellow and red on the head. It probes bark crevices and eats mainly plant foods, as well as insects.
Males have a yellow forehead and forecrown, red crown to hindneck, and yellow cheeks and throat. Females lack the red hindcrown, which is blue-black.
It forages in small groups, probing bark crevices. It eats mainly fruits, berries and seeds, along with insects; several adults may help rear a single brood.
