The Ruddy Woodcreeper is a distinctively reddish-brown woodcreeper that forages by spiraling up tree trunks and branches. Its vibrant plumage makes it stand out in certain light conditions.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid forests and woodlands from southern Mexico south through Central America to northern Colombia.
How to spot
Look for it climbing tree trunks in a typical woodcreeper fashion. Its uniform ruddy plumage is the most reliable visual identifier.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning until late afternoon, often as part of mixed-species flocks.

Its striking rufous coloration is a key diagnostic feature, differentiating it from many of the more drab woodcreepers.
