Although this woodpecker foraged near the bamboo tree, it is NOT a Bamboo Woodpecker.
ID = Greater Yellownape (Picus flanvinucha). Photographed at Telecom loop, setting +2EV compensation without flash.
Sorry for not having the beautiful clouds or blue sky, but still happy because that yellow woodpecker is my lifer.
Location: Telekom loop, Fraser's Hill, Pahang.

Great catch, definitely not a Bamboo. The nape is really striking yellow
The woodpecker seemed to be hesitated, maybe because of you.
Great catch .... perfect timing ...

Amazing woodpecker! It is similar in shape and size to our pileated!
Beautiful sky and a Great capture of the cool looking woodpecker.
Great catch ...
I believe I have seen this at TN. Remember the telecom loop very well - very birdy.
This woodpecker is so pretty! Quite different from what we see here.
What a wonderful woodpecker! Around here they all tend toward black & white with some red (although some have beige, as well.) LOVE the greens & yellows you captured. Very nice!
