The GreaterFlameback, Chrysocolaptes lucidus also known as the Large Golden-backed Woodpecker or Malherbe's Golden-backed Woodpecker, is a woodpecker which is a widespread and common resident breeder from the Indian subcontinent eastwards through tropical southern Asia to the Philippines and Indonesia.
The GreaterFlameback is a large species at 33cm in length.
Unlike the Black-rumped Flameback, Dinopium benghalense, white-and-fl-headed birds have a dark moustache stripe divided by white, and the fl of the eye patch is joined to that of the nape.
