The Rufous-necked Wryneck, Jynx ruficollis is a species of wryneck in the family of woodpeckers.
This species is resident in sub-Saharan Africa, and is the non-migratory counterpart of the Eurasian Eurasian Wryneck. This is a savannah bird, which requires trees with old woodpecker or barbet holes for nesting.
It has cryptic plumage, with intricate patterning of greys and browns. The voice is a nasal woodpecker-like call.
