The laced woodpecker (Picus vittatus) is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It is found throughout Southeast Asia in the countries of Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. A sole specimen recorded for Bangladesh has since been reidentified as a streak-breasted woodpecker.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical mangrove forest, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. Media related to Picus vittatus at Wikimedia Commons Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Laced Woodpecker sighting in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, based on 479 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 64th most-seen of the 278 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Laced Woodpecker in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, against about 10% in April, June and September, the lowest months. That is one of Khao Yai National Park's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 330 mm in September.
Between 4 and 7 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Laced Woodpecker sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Laced Woodpecker sightings, Khao Yai National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Cat Tien National Park (Vietnam, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Laced Woodpecker is recorded against all the birds logged in Khao Yai National Park (479 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
