The Grey-capped Woodpecker is distributed from the Himalayan foothills through central and eastern China to eastern Siberia and south through Indochina and the Malay Peninsula to Indonesia.
At about 15cm. it is very small. It has a grey crown and a blackish stripe through the eye. The back is black with white bars while underparts are a dirty buff with black stripes. The male has a small patch of red on the nape which is lacking in the female. Though the angle of these photos is not ideal, I think that this bird is a female.
There are recordings on xeno-canto .
