Black-rumped Flame-back Wood-pecker, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

A very rare sight - Black-rumped flame-back wood-pecker, in our home garden at Avissawella, Sri Lanka. It was in and out in two minutes. I took a grab-shot with my Nikon D7200. Next morning it returned with its mate but I did not have my camera ready.A very rare sight - Black-rumped flame-back wood-pecker, in our home garden at Avissawella, Sri Lanka.
