About the Streak-throated Woodpecker
The streak-throated woodpecker (Picus xanthopygaeus) is a species of woodpecker found in the Indian subcontinent. It occurs in drier woodland, from lowland to the foothills of mountains. A medium-sized, green woodpecker with streaked throat and scaly whitish underparts. Green above with yellowish rump, white supercilia and white and black moustache. Crown red in male, blackish in female. Tail dark and plain. Smallish, dark bill.
The streak-breasted woodpecker has pale eyes, denser underpart streaking, and a thinner pale moustache stripe.
