starts withIt is a subspecies of the grey-capped pygmy woodpecker, with key differences in the color of its feathers and body. Adult individuals typically reach 18 centimetres (7.1 in) in length. The sides of the head and eyebrows have broad patches of intense white, and the wing coverts contain large clear white patterns that form conspicuous patches. The underparts of the wing are pale with five white stripes. The cock has a grey crown and two small red stripes featuring prominently above the eyebrows.
The subspecies' geographic distribution spans from eastern Siberia (Ussuriland), southeastern Manchuria (Heilongjiang and Jilin), and the Korean peninsula. Individuals of this species live in open woods and cultivated lands (usually inland), and are believed to be extant throughout their range.
