The Planalto Woodcreeper is a medium-to-large woodcreeper characterized by prominent streaking on its head and underparts. It inhabits woodlands and dry forests in south-central South America.
Where to spot
Found in dry forests, woodlands, and gallery forests across southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing motion on tree trunks. Its streaked plumage, particularly on the head and breast, is a key field mark. Listen for its distinct, often rapid, vocalizations.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging in the morning and early afternoon.

Its habitat preference for drier, more open woodlands distinguishes it from many other woodcreepers that prefer humid rainforests.
