The Brown-billed Scythebill is a distinctive woodcreeper with a long, moderately decurved bill that is typically brown. It forages in humid montane and foothill forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane and foothill forests along the Andes, from Venezuela south through Colombia and Ecuador to northern Peru.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing motion and its long, brown, moderately decurved bill. Its distinctive vocalizations, often a series of high-pitched notes, are also a good clue.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging in the mid-story and canopy from morning to afternoon.

Its bill, while decurved, is generally less strongly curved than some other scythebills, and its brown coloration is a key diagnostic.
