Black-banded Woodcreeper
Dendrocolaptes picumnus Lichtenstein, MHC, 1820
Furnariidae — Ovenbirds
Black-banded Woodcreeper, Dendrocolaptes picumnus, is a passerine of the Furnariidae family that breeds from southern Mexico to north-west Argentina. It occurs across Middle America and much of South America, with a patchy range. Its plumage is shared by both sexes, and the species is among the larger woodcreepers. The bill is straight and of medium length, and the tail is long. The nominate form has a dark face and neck, a brown crown and nape, and rufous-chestnut wings and tail. Juveniles are similar but have stronger markings and a darker, more spotted crown.
