The Black-billed Scythebill is a distinctive woodcreeper characterized by its very long, strongly decurved black bill. It is a specialized forager, probing into epiphytes and bark.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, where it forages in the mid-story and canopy.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing motion on tree trunks and large branches, often focusing on epiphytes. Its long, decurved black bill is the most reliable field mark.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Most active in the morning and early afternoon.

Its bill is typically all-dark, which helps distinguish it from the similar Red-billed Scythebill in areas of potential overlap.
