The Buff-necked Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker characterized by its buff-colored neck and finely barred plumage. It is a denizen of tropical lowland forests, often found foraging in the understory.

Where to spot

Found across Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and some smaller islands, inhabiting lowland rainforests, swamp forests, and bamboo thickets.

How to spot

Look for its buff neck and finely barred appearance. Listen for its soft, clicking calls and a distinctive, less forceful drumming compared to other woodpeckers, often on bamboo.

When to spot

Active during daylight hours, observed year-round. It can be particularly elusive due to its preference for dense undergrowth.
