Least Concern

The Rusty-flanked Treecreeper is a treecreeper of the Himalayas, China, and adjacent South and Southeast Asian mountain forests. It spirals up trunks and branches with strong claws and a stiff tail, probing bark crevices for tiny insects, larvae, and spiders before flying to the base of another tree.
