Wildlife Spotting

I'm sorry. I just said that it was a possibility (a good one since the bird inhabits the region), but I really don't know for certain. But in terms of it being a termite mound? Yes I'm pretty sure it is.

I would guess from the structure and texture it is a termite mound (see article here http://watchingtheworldwakeup.blogspot.com/2010/09/mounds-of-brazil.html about one-third down into the article. The holes could be bird excavations into the termite mound, I don't know for sure. The campo flicker is one species that makes holes in termite mounds for feeding and even nesting sometimes http://neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/portal/species/lifehistory?p_p_spp=318296
