Spotted
The Spotted Woodcreeper is a medium-sized woodcreeper notable for its prominent spots on the head and breast, contrasting with its rufous plumage. It forages on tree trunks in humid forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland and foothill forests across the Amazon basin in South America, including Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Brazil.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing motion and prominent spotting on its head and breast. Its distinct, often high-pitched vocalizations are also a key identifier.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging in the mid-story and canopy from morning to afternoon, often with mixed-species flocks.

The spots on its plumage help break up its outline, providing camouflage as it climbs along bark.
