The woodpecker pictured above is the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Its existence in the natural world is now extremely questionable. Last thought to have been seen in Cuba in the 1980s.
1. Woodpecker species in North America - 22 to 23 ... depending on existence of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker (pictured above).
2. Woodpecker species in South America - estimates of 70 to over 80.
3. Woodpecker species in the world - 200 to 250 (roughly)
Woodpeckers inhabit most continents, but are not found in Australia, New guinea or New Zealand.
