The Amami woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos owstoni) is a bird in the family Picidae found only on Amami Ōshima in the Ryukyu Islands south of Japan . The species is confined to mature evergreen broadleaf forest in the hills of the island. It specialises in eating large wood-boring insects. It is usually considered conspecific with the white-backed woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos).[1][2] The Amami woodpecker is still considered as a subspecies of the white-backed woodpecker in the list maintained by the International Ornithologists' Union and the Clements Checklist.[3]
