The Malaysian Striped-throated Woodpecker is a small to medium-sized woodpecker recognized by the subtle stripes on its throat and overall greenish plumage. It is a resident of tropical forests and woodlands.
Where to spot
Found in Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and some smaller islands. Inhabits lowland and hill forests, including disturbed areas.
How to spot
Look for its greenish plumage with subtle throat markings. Patience is key, as its drumming is soft; listening for its soft 'chik' calls or observing subtle movements on tree trunks is often more effective.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours. It is a resident species, observable year-round, but can be challenging to spot due to its quiet nature.

This woodpecker is known to have a relatively quiet drumming pattern, often a soft, rapid series of taps, making it harder to detect than more boisterous woodpecker species.
