It's beautiful. It looks very similar to the Downy Woodpeckers that are very common in Canada, only far more exotic :)
Yes, Courtney, it is. In portuguese "anão" means "dwarf". This is the smallest of woodpeckers we find around here, slightly bigger than a sparrow.
Is this a type of woodpecker?
cute!
