Two Strange Birds

I snapped a photo of these two birds hanging around outside our office window. The top bird was tapping on the tree, and so I wonder if they are in the woodpecker family. Anyone know what kind of birds these are? I should look up Malaysian woodpeckers to check.

Update- I think I found out what kind of birds these are... they look just like the Rufous Woodpecker seen here http://www.birdforum.net/opus/Rufous_Woodpecker.
