It is approximately 250 mm (9.8 in) in length with a 380 mm (15 in) wingspan.[2] With an estimated population in 2020 of almost nine million individuals, the hairy woodpecker is listed by the IUCN as a species of least concern.[3] Some nomenclature authorities, such as the eBird/Clements checklist, place this species in the genus Dryobates.[4]
