The image is a photograph of a woodpecker perched on a thin branch. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image and its head is turned slightly to the left. It has a black and white striped body with a red crest on its head. Its wings are slightly spread out and its tail feathers are fanned out. The branch it is perched on is brown and appears to be bare. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a wooded area with green foliage.
