The woodpecker that attacked Richie's head is not a woodpecker but appears to be a troupial, either a Venezuelan troupial which is the national bird of Venezuela or the Campo troupial which is native to eastern Brazil. These birds are members of the Icterid family, New World passerines that include blackbirds, orioles, meadowlarks, etc There are three species of troupial found in the world, at one time all three species were thought to be con-specific and were lumped under the common name Orange-backed troupial. None of these birds are native to the US. These birds are orange and black which is in line with what was mentioned about the bird in the show.
