Streak-throated Woodpecker/ලා කොළ කෑරලා/ඉරිගෙල කෑරලා [La Kola Kerala/Irigela Kerala] (Picus xanthopygaeus)
Rather rare breeding resident of open woodlands, home gardens and plantations like tea estates in dry southern and eastern hills down to eastern foothills and near by dry lowlands. It lives as solitary birds or as pairs. The breeding season of Streak-throated Woodpecker appears to be during the south-west monsoon from April to September and it lays three eggs in a nest, a hole cut in the trunk or a branch of a tree.
