White-naped Woodpecker/ Black-shouldered Woodpecker
An uncommon, four-toed, large-billed, golden-backed woodpecker endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. It inhabits open wooded habitat all over its range, but is often difficult to find. Separated from the group of “small-billed” flamebacks by its much larger bill, a conspicuous white nape with a contrasting black border, and a divided black horizontal stripe below the cheek. Separated from the similarly large-billed Greater Flameback by its black rump, clean white nape, and preference for drier habitat.
