Moult strategies and morphometric precisions in the Lilford's woodpecker Dendrocopos leucotos lilfordi

This article presents a study of the plumage of the Lilford's woodpecker Dendrocopos leucotoslilfordi. The species performs a partial post-juvenile moult for the first-year birds and a complete post-nuptialmoult regularly arrested for adults. The criteria presented make it possible to differentiate the two age-classesof a bird in hand. Furthermore, a difference in wing shape via the wing formula appears between females andmales, suggesting a different internuptial or post-juvenile dispersal behaviour depending on the sexes.
