RUFOUS PICULET

Sasia abnormis 9 cm F: Picidae

Description: Unmistakable within range; replaced in the rest of the Oriental region by the similar White-browed Piculet, S. ochracea; photo shows female; male has yellow forehead.

Voice: A sharp and high-pitched kik-ik-ik; also makes a faint tapping noise while feeding.

Habits: Occurs in primary rainforest, from the lowlands into lower hills at 800 metres, but is often seen in adjacent secondary growth and has a preferance for moving into low scrub and bamboo as the photo shows. Sometimes participates in bird waves, but although it is fairly tame, good views are difficult, as it stays out of sight and hops continuously.
