The brown woodpecker is a small bird of the woodpecker family about 19 centimeters long. It lives in the mountain forests of the Himalayas and pecks trees in search of insects.
The brown woodpecker differs from related species by the brown color of its forehead and golden crown. It benefits the forest by destroying harmful insects under the bark of trees.
