The best way to avoid this dilemma is to just holler out "Ivory-billed
Woodpecker!!" every time you see one.
When someone corrects you by saying, "Umm, that's a Pileated
Woodpecker," you'll know how they think it should be pronounced.
If someone else disagrees with them, let them fight it out.
Then ask them why it's not called a "Pileolated Woodpecker."
