The Sunda pygmy woodpecker (Yungipicus moluccensis), also known as the Sunda woodpecker perched on a tree some 100 m from my flat window. It is a species of bird in the family Picidae and found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore according to sources. It is rather tiny bird with brown capped head; ear covers dark brown with two rather broad whitish grey bands narrowing towards neck. Upper parts greyish brown with white wings tipped with white thus appearing striped. Tail short and blackish with white bands. Lores and throat white leading into dirty white underparts. Upper breast streaked with brown reducing towards vent. Whitish underwing coverts with pale brown. Sexes dimorphic. This is a female bird as it does not have an orange crown unlike the Males.

As the weather was cloudy, the original photo was not so clear, so i adjusted the contrast and brightness to show the bird clearly.
