Résumé :	Hybridization occurs between numerous bird species, with some of them capable of producing backcrosses. However, little information is available concerning mating between pairs of hybrids. In this case study, a mixed pairing is reported between hybrids of Syrian and Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Dendrocopos syriacus and Dendrocopos major, respectively. Mixed phenotypic and genotypic traits were found in the male, the female and their offspring. The possible consequences of hybridization and its effect on the Syrian Woodpecker, which is protected under the Bird Directive of the European Union, are discussed.
