The Grey-headed Woodpecker (Picus Canus), also known as the Grey-faced Woodpecker, is a Eurasian member of the woodpecker family, Picidae. Along with the more commonly found European Green Woodpecker and the Iberian Green Woodpecker, it is one of three closely related sister species found in Europe. Its distribution stretches across large parts of the central and Eastern Palaearctic, all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
