Spot-crowned Woodcreeper
(Lepidocolaptes affinis)
3/28/04 - Amistad National Park, Chiriqui. Woodcreepers are a little like overgrown Brown Creepers and, true to their name, are almost always seen creeping up wood. This terrible photo is of the only woodcreeper that stayed put long enough to be scoped. There are many similar species, but with practice, you can actually tell them apart and appreciate their subtle beauty. Spot-crowned was the most numerous woodcreeper we saw in the highlands of Chiriqui.
