After shooting the short video, I closed the door and the bird flew away from the car …
… only to settle on a chair outside my office window (also a favorite of the cat).
Green-barred Woodpecker (Colaptes melanochloros)
French: Pic vert et noir
German: Grünbindenspecht
Spanish: Carpintero Real or Carpintero Nuca Roja (Red-naped Woodpecker)
Other common names: Green-barred Flicker; Golden-breasted Woodpecker (melanolaimus group)
(Thanks to Jim Wiemann for the identification)
Most classifications I can find, do include Uruguay in the sub-tropical regions of the world, so the woodpecker would not be out of zone.
Syd, I removed that reference because: Wikipedia. You can see a map of posted photos and videos here: https://search.macaulaylibrary.org/catalog?taxonCode=grbwoo3
