This species takes the place of M. pucJierani on the Pacific slope 

 and the central plateau region, although the ranges of the two birds 

 slightly overlap, the present bird occurring occasionally on the Carib- 

 bean slope (Juan Vinas and Guapiles). It is the common wood- 

 pecker of the highlands and Pacific coast, although not so abundant 

 in individuals as M. pucherani on the eastern side. It is also found 

 in more open country, rarely being seen in heavy forest.
