Within the White-chinned Woodcreeper, differences in vocal characters, size and iris colour suggest that at least two species may be involved. In view of the vocal and plumage differences documented by Willis, it seems better to treat the Plain-winged Woodcreeper (Dendrocincla turdina) of south-eastern Brazil as being distinct from the Plain-brown Woodcreeper, with which it was formerly considered by most authors to be conspecific.
