Dendrocoptes
Dendrocoptes is a genus of woodpeckers in the (family Picidae) native to Eurasia. Species in this genus were previously assigned to Dendrocopos, where some taxonomic authorities still keep the entire group. The taxonomic committee of the British Ornithologists' Union have recommended an alternative arrangement in which the genera Dendrocoptes and Leiopicus are combined into a larger Dendropicos.
