This was seen on Helmet Top, Walong. In the field I thought it was a Crimson-breasted Woodpecker but on going through the field guide, we realised that some features just don't match, mainly the crimson on the breast. Also this bird has a red of nape that continues uninterrupted to the rear and sides of neck and it is a bright orange. It also has a red vent (not showing in my shots) which the crimson-breasted doesn't.
-- Am rather confused and waiting to be enlightened by the experts.
Walong, Arunachal Pradesh, 25 Mar'15.
Thanks in advance.
