Inhabits the humid montane forests of the northern Andes, particularly in Venezuela, Colombia, and northern Ecuador.
How to spot
Look for it climbing tree trunks and large branches, often foraging among epiphytes. Its relatively long tail and typical woodcreeper movements are key identifiers.

Active year-round during daylight hours. Most active during the morning, often joining mixed-species flocks.

Its long tail feathers are stiffened and used as a prop while climbing, a common adaptation among woodcreepers.
