The Multistriped Scythebill is a distinctive woodcreeper with a long, decurved bill, named for its fine, multiple streaking on the head and back. It forages by probing into bark and epiphytes.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests of the western Amazon basin, primarily in Colombia, Ecuador, and northeastern Peru.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing motion and its long, decurved bill. The fine, dense streaking on its head and back are subtle but important field marks.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging in the mid-story and canopy from morning to afternoon.

Its detailed streaking pattern is often a key differentiator from other scythebill species, particularly if seen in good light.
