Observation details
We initially spotted the bird when it flew out from the top part of a tree as if fly catching and then returned to perch in the same tree. The pinkish color on underside immediately brought to mind this species. We were able to see more details as the bird perched in the tree. Medium-sized woodpecker with greenish back, dark red on face, gray breast, and pinkish belly. It disappeared as we were looking at the field guide, possibly due to Merlin arriving, and we were unable to refind it.
