Sporting yellow on the head like the Black-backed Woodpecker with which it often shares the same habitat, American three-toed Woodpecker is distinguished from Black-backed by the white barring on its back. It is one of two separate species resulting from the split of the former Three-toed Woodpecker into American Three-toed and Eurasian Three-toed.
