Barred Woodcreeper

It is found in the entire Amazon Basin of Brazil and the Guianas in the northeast, . The countries surrounding the basin at the Andes are southern Colombia and Venezuela, also Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. A disjunct population exists 1800 km east of the Amazon Basin in eastern coastal Brazil in the states of Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, and Sergipe in a 600 km coastal strip. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

The Barred Woodcreeper is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

A typical form is the barred woodcreeper (Dendrocolaptes certhia), of southern Mexico to northern Brazil; it is 28 cm (11 inches) long, is heavy-billed, and has scalloped black markings. Xiphorhynchus woodcreepers, such as the ivory-billed woodcreeper (X. flavigaster) of Central America, are among the more prominently streaked woodcreepers. Like others of its genus, the plain-brown woodcreeper (Dendrocincla fuliginosa), of Honduras to northeastern Argentina, often follows marching ant columns, eating the insects and other creatures routed out by the ants.

the Amazonian Barred Woodcreeper (Dendrocolaptes certhia), which appear to constitute a single species. The four Xiphocolaptes have a significantly longer bill than that of the two Hylexetastes, to which they are otherwise nearly identical morphologically. This morphological similarity is reflected in their placement as sister taxa in a recent phylogeny. Unlike species in the genus Hylexetastes, those in the genus Xiphocolaptes differ notably in plumage and structure. More
