Other common names: Burmese/Small/Little Scaly-bellied (Green) Woodpecker
Taxonomy: Picus viridanus Blyth, 1843, Arakan, Myanmar.
Forms a superspecies with P. vittatus. Has often been considered conspecific, but appears to be separated by habitat, although some possible overlap in this respect; further study needed.
