Zebra Woodpecker
Meiglyptes tristis
The white-rumped woodpecker (Meiglyptes tristis) is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It was previously considered conspecific with the buff-rumped woodpecker but that is now assigned to (Meiglyptes grammithorax). The white-rumped woodpecker is endemic to Java in Indonesia where it occupies the western half of the island.

Range & habitat
It is found in plantations of coconuts, rubber, and silk plants; villages that border secondary forest; mangroves; and polyculture areas. It is known to access disturbed habitats. It is disputed whether zebra woodpeckers are found within primary and secondary forests.
