About the Speckled Piculet
The speckled piculet (Picumnus innominatus) is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It is found in India, China and Southeast Asia. The speckled piculet was formally described in 1836 by the English zoologist Edward Burton under the current binomial name Picumnus innominatus from a specimen collected in the "Himalayas". The locality is taken to be the state of Sikkim in northeast India. The specific epithet innominatus is Latin meaning "unnamed". Three subspecies are recognised: P. i. innominatus Burton, 1836 – northeast Afghanistan, north Pakistan, Kashmir to southeast Tibet, Nepal and northeast India P. i. malayorum Hartert, EJO, 1912 – south, east India to south China, Indochina, Sumatra and Borneo P. i. chinensis (Hargitt, 1881) – central, east, south China.
