The Plain-brown Woodcreeper is a widespread and common woodcreeper, characterized by its rather uniform brown plumage. It forages on tree trunks and branches, probing for insects.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland and foothill forests across a vast range in South America, including the Amazon basin, the Atlantic Forest, and parts of the Andes.
How to spot
Look for its typical woodcreeper climbing behavior on tree trunks. Its plain, unstreaked brown plumage is the main visual identifier. Listen for its various calls, which can vary regionally.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning until late afternoon, sometimes with mixed-species flocks.
