The Cocoa Woodcreeper is a medium-sized woodcreeper named for its rich, warm brown 'cocoa' plumage. It forages on tree trunks and branches in humid forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland and foothill forests from Honduras south through Central America to northern South America.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing motion on tree trunks. Its rich, unstreaked brown plumage is a good visual identifier. Listen for its loud, clear vocalizations.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning until late afternoon, frequently with mixed-species flocks.

Its warm plumage color is quite distinctive, especially compared to the often drabber or more contrasting patterns of other woodcreepers.
