Common Name: Black Rumped Flameback / Lesser Flameback / Lesser Goldenback Woodpecker
Scientific Name : Dinopium benghalense
Family: Picidae
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

It is one of the few woodpeckers that are seen in urban areas, which has a characteristic rattling-whinnying call and an undulating flight. It is the only golden-backed woodpecker with a black throat. The Black-rumped Flameback is a widespread and common resident breeder in much of South Asia.

A great-looking woodpecker with beautiful color, Saurav! I'm amazed at the woodpeckers in your part of the world.

Really a very interesting looking woodpecker. In overall form, it appears similar to our Pileated Woodpecker although it's hard to tell the size of the Flameback in comparison. It is a great looking woodpecker and you photographed it beautifully to show the "flame" back which undoubtedly gives the woodpecker it's name.

I'm guessing these are wary birds. Outstanding.
