The white-backed woodpecker (lat. Dendrocopos leucotos lilfordi) is a scarce subspecies of woodpecker. It is endemic in the Balkans and Turkey. It is a threatened bird, requiring large tracts of mature deciduous forests with high amounts of standing and lying deadwood. In Thrace, white-backed woodpeckers can be found in the Frakto forest and Nestos Straights.
