The Moustached Woodcreeper is a distinctive, large woodcreeper named for the prominent dark 'moustachial' stripe on its face. It forages on tree trunks, probing for insects.

Endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, inhabiting humid lowland and foothill forests.
How to spot
Look for its large size and characteristic moustachial stripe as it climbs tree trunks. Listen for its loud, clear calls, which often carry well through the forest.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Most active in the morning and early afternoon, often solitary or in pairs.
