5 thoughts on “Mottled Piculet (Picumnus nebulosus)”
I support the proposal to downgrade the Mottled Piculet from Near Threatened (NT) to Least Concern (LC). There is no evidence of a population decline exceeding 20% over the past 10 years. The species is primarily associated with forest edges, secondary growth, and bamboo stands; it enters forest interiors mainly in large patches where bamboo is present (Glayson A. Bencke, pers. comm.). The Extent of Occurrence (EOO) appears to be overestimated since the range presented in this assessment is larger than the distribution maps from eBird and WikiAves. However, the discrepancy is minor and does not affect the overall assessment outcome.

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 25 April 2025. We will now analyse and interpret the information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List category on this page on 25 April 2025, when discussions will re-open.
We thank contributors for the information shared in the above comments. This will be incorporated into the updated species factsheet. Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2025 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classification outlined in the initial forum discussion.
There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 4 May 2025, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2025 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in October 2025, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Mottled Piculet is recommended to be listed as Least Concern.
