Spotted
The Olive-backed Woodcreeper is a medium-sized woodcreeper characterized by its olive-tinged back and fine streaking on its head and breast. It forages on tree trunks in humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane and foothill forests along the Andes, from Venezuela south to Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing motion and its overall olive-brown coloration with subtle streaking. Listen for its distinct, often descending, vocalizations.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning until late afternoon, often with mixed-species flocks.

Its subtly olive back provides good camouflage against mossy or lichen-covered tree trunks in its high-elevation habitat.
