Ibadan Malimbe, Malimbus Ibadanensis is not endemic to Ibadan.

So many other reports shows that it exists in other places. And not as a migrant bird either.

Is this bird not a species of woodpecker?

Looks more like a sparrow, than a woodpecker..

Sparrows don't perch like that.

The Malimbus Ibadanensis known as the "Ibadan Malimbe", is a rare red-headed bird which cannot be found anywhere in the world except Ibadan.

The bird is about 20 centimeters long. The male is black with a red head and breast. The female has smaller red areas.

The bird forages in pairs or small groups, sometimes alongside the red-headed malimbe (Malimbus rubricollis). It lives in forest and woodland habitat, including degraded areas.
