Identification & Behavior: ~21.5 cm (8.4 in). The Striped Woodcreeper has a heavily streaked head, mantle, and underparts. It has buff spots, which are fringed with black creating an “ocellated effect” pattern of streaks. The throat is whitish with rufous on the chin. The bill is creamy white often with gray streaks. It forages in the understory and midstory of varzea forests usually alone but can join mixed-species flocks. It is very similar to the Straight-billed Woodcreeper and the Zimmer’s Woodcreeper but is distinguished by smaller size, proportionally smaller bill, and by foraging in the understory and midstory inside the forest.
