Dashing and uncommon pale-eyed woodpecker, found only in lowland and foothill woodlands and forests on Bali and eastern Java. Note lustrous golden-brown back and wings, black-and-white barring on the sides, black mask, and well-defined scaling on the neck and breast. Male and female differ primarily in crest color: red on the former, yellow on the latter. Pairs often forage close together. Gives a high, piping “dididididi.”
