Wedge-billed Woodcreeper
Glyphorynchus spirurus (Vieillot, 1819)
Furnariidae — Ovenbirds
Wedge-billed Woodcreeper, Glyphorynchus spirurus, is a passerine of the ovenbird family that breeds from southern Mexico through Middle America and across Amazonia to eastern Brazil. It is the only species in its genus. Its most notable feature is a short, upturned bill shaped like a wedge, and it is the smallest woodcreeper. The sexes look the same. The species is divided into several subspecies, and their vocal, plumage and genetic differences suggest it may contain more than one species.
