The correct name is Grey-headed Woodpecker or sometimes Grey-faced Woodpecker. The Scientific name is Picus Canus, Gr�spett in Swedish (and Gr�sp�tte in Danish.) The Grey-capped Woodpecker in another species with the Scientific name Dendrocopos canicapillus. You will not find this bird in Europe. (Well in a cage maybe) I can see your observation is reported already on http://svalan.environ.se/rappsyst/index.htm Well in Denmark this would be a nice bird to see ;-)) Regards Jan

It's definitely a grey headed woodpecker - a female, and its not that far off the mapped out range for that species.
