GREATER YELLOW NAPE WOODPECKER (Pics flavinuca) 03/06/2023
Fraser Hill
The Greater Yellownape (*Chrysophlegma flavinucha*) is a strikingly beautiful woodpecker species found across the forests of South and Southeast Asia. It is known for its distinctive features and vibrant colors.
This bird is medium-sized, measuring about 32–35 cm in length. It gets its name from its prominent yellow nape (the back of its neck) which stands out against its overall olive-green body. The head is brownish with a yellowish crown, and it has a strong, chisel-shaped bill adapted for pecking at tree trunks. Males have a small red patch on their cheeks, while females lack this feature.
Greater Yellownapes are often found in pairs or small groups, searching for insects, larvae, and occasionally fruits, by drilling into tree bark. They are also known for their loud and distinct calls, which echo through the forest.
These woodpeckers prefer subtropical or tropical moist lowland and montane forests. While they are not currently considered threatened, habitat loss could pose risks in the future.
