Neat!

I've got another puzzle for you Dave - the "Pileated" woodpecker
(Dryocopus pileatus), a large red crested woodpecker, often seen by
loggers and people residing in the woods. The name is pronounced
pIl-i-ey-ted (using the alphabet of this list). "Pileated" translates
from Latin into something like "capped". However, the name sounds a lot
like the Chinook Jargon "Pil Latet", or "red-head".

This could be a complete coincidence... What do you think?
