The Key to Scientific Names
Legend Overview
Introduction
The Long-tailed Woodcreeper is found in southern Central America to northwest Colombia, as well as across the greater part of Amazonia. Some authorities have suggested that the disjunct northern Colombian population, which is smaller sized and has more distinct spot-like markings on the underparts, merits specific status. This proposal has yet to accrue much support, in part because the geographic variation in song types needs further study. The Long-tailed Woodcreeper appears uncommon and local throughout its range, even in Amazonia, where it favors the interior of humid evergreen forest but is only rarely recorded in seasonally flooded areas, and the species is only likely to be detected with some frequency by observers familiar with its vocalizations. Despite its rather large distribution, this species remains poorly known with respect to its general natural history and breeding biology.
