This image reveals some bright materials on a crater floor, part of which forms an outline similar to a woodpecker. This bright material appears to have collected in relative topographic low areas, perhaps bright materials carried and deposited by water in Mars’ past. The concentric troughs (woodpecker's body) may be collapse features as seen elsewhere nearby.
