Freckle-breasted Woodpecker refers to Dendrocopos analis, in the genus Dendrocopos, family Picidae, and order Piciformes. The scientific name follows the accepted taxon in the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy. Common names can vary between places; the scientific name distinguishes this species from relatives. Evidence: [GBIF Backbone Taxonomy — accepted taxon](https://www.gbif.org/species/6101207) ## What is known about the Freckle-breasted Woodpecker? The freckle-breasted woodpecker is a picid; Indonesian records should use head and wing pattern plus locality to distinguish lookalikes. Read that fact alongside the scientific name and species source, not as proof from an unclear photograph. Populations, ages and taxonomic limits can differ; when identification is uncertain, record the broader group. Evidence: [Species account — background reading](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrocopos%20analis) ## How many Indonesian records name the Freckle-breasted Woodpecker? When checked on 2026-09-23, the GBIF search returned 4,553 human-observation records from Indonesia under this species name for 2016–2026. That is a count of indexed records, not an estimate of population, abundance or unique individuals. Observation effort can vary by location, and the count may change as records are added or identifications revised.

Place labels appearing in the results include Nusa Tenggara, Java, Bali. They are labels attached to records, not a complete range map or evidence that the species occurs only there. Some labels may be broad or inconsistent. Check the underlying records before using the location information for field decisions.

Record the date, broad location, voice and visible plumage without approaching nests or young. A clear, distant photograph is more useful than disturbing a bird for a closer view. A well-documented sighting helps others check the identification without turning one encounter into a conservation-status claim. ## Explore related animals To explore this group further, compare Freckle-breasted Woodpecker with Coppersmith Barbet, Black-naped Fruit Dove, Sacred Kingfisher.
