Lesser Goldenback Woodpecker
The black-rumped flameback (Dinopium benghalense) aka lesser golden-back is a woodpecker that is widespread across South Asia.
They are often seen feeding on insects mainly beetle larvae from under the bark - foraging from the ground to the canopy of trees. I caught this during the breeding season (summer in Karnataka, India) when they usually excavate nests in tree cavities.
This one is an adult male as its red crown and crest shows with a stiff tail to provide support against the tree trunk. It is the only golden-backed woodpecker with a black throat and black rump. This bird appears in a 4.50 rupee Sri Lankan postal stamp and a 3.75 Taka postal stamp from Bangladesh.
