Spotted Woodcreeper

Xiphorhynchus erythropygius

Least Concern

The Spotted Woodcreeper is a woodcreeper of humid forests in Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama. It hitches up tree trunks and along branches, propped on its stiff tail, probing bark and epiphytes for insects. Fun fact: Woodcreepers prop themselves on stiffened tail feathers to climb tree trunks, much as woodpeckers do.
