Lesser Spotted Woodpecker

The Lesser Spotted Woodpecker is a Palearctic woodpecker currently placed in the genus Dryobates. It was formerly classified in Dendrocopos, so older references may present it as Dendrocopos minor. The source supports its broad Palearctic distribution and taxonomic history but did not provide enough clearly extracted species-level ecological or numerical information for a fuller account. Diet, habitat measurements, breeding figures and a China-specific range statement have consequently been omitted. (Wikipedia, general species account)
