Grey-capped Woodpecker

The grey-capped woodpecker, now called the grey-capped pygmy woodpecker, is a small, dark woodpecker with dark eyes. Its back is barred black and white and its underside is dark buff with prominent dark streaks. The crown is grey, with a red nape in males, and it has broad white eyebrows and cheeks that contrast with black eye-stripes (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is found from the Himalaya and Manchuria to South-east Asia, in moist lowland forest, mangroves and montane forest. The source does not name Nepal and gives no size, diet or breeding detail. Some authorities place it in Dendrocopos or Picoides (Wikipedia, general species account).
