This is amazing. I didn't realize there was a video of this extinct Mexican species, even larger than the Ivory-billed. A friend who lives in Cura?ao sent me the link.

There has been much written about how Ivory-billed Woodpecker flight style was quite different than that of Pileated Woodpeckers, and this video now makes that clear to me (assuming Ivory-billed and Imperial flew very similarly).
