Chestnut Bellied Nuthatch
A species of nuthatch seen around Assam and Kumaon region.

Update : Looks like it is not restricted to Assam and Kumaon alone. Actually its association is more defined by the type of forest it is found rather than just north or southern parts of indian and in this case it is tropical dry vegetation. Thanks to Deepa for the correction.
