Rare sighting of Lesser Yellow-naped Woodpecker ( Picus chlorolophus chlorolophus) in the Sundarbans. Appears to be a Male. Its a nice image under the most tying conditions ..... rainy season and the terrain. Thanks for sharing,SaktiWild

Nice sighting of this rare bird. Good eye contact. I think the focus has locked on the branch. Please check the AF point. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely sighting. The eye contact is fine. I think your image was underexposed and you pulled up the exposure during post processing. The bird being darker in colour, didn't get enough light. Why the -Ev? Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Nice to see this . the southern subspecies looks similar but has a smaller nape. agree with comments above.

Nice shot of this species. I have seen the greater yellownape associating with jungle babblers & common mynas... would be great to know if you observed anything similar with this species.

Thank you so much for the comments...
@ Abhishek
there was Ashy-wood Swallow, black drongo and common myna also with this yellownape..

Abhishek ive seen the southern species regularly participate in mixed species flock feeding.
