Woody shares many characteristics in common with the pileated woodpecker in terms of both physical appearance as well as his characteristic laugh, which resembles the call of the pileated woodpecker. These similarities are the result of the artistic license of the creators and have caused much confusion within the birding community among those who have attempted to classify Woody’s species.
Interesting, I guess maybe I just thought that because his character design has white on his body.
Hmm, Wiki says Woody is modeled after this, perhaps its incorrect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pileated_woodpecker?wprov=sfla1
