About the Guianan Woodcreeper
The Guianan woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes albolineatus) or lineated woodcreeper is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.
Until the 2010s what is now the Guianan woodcreeper was known as the lineated woodcreeper and had five subspecies assigned to it. Starting at that time all but its nominate subspecies were split from it, eventually resulting in a monotypic Guianan woodcreeper, the Duida woodcreeper (L. duidae), the Inambari woodcreeper (L. fatimalimae), and the dusky-capped woodcreeper (L. fuscicapillus).
The Guianan woodcreeper is 17 to 19 cm (6.7 to 7.5 in) long; males weigh 19 to 24 g (0.67 to 0.85 oz) and females 18 to 20.5 g (0.63 to 0.72 oz). It is a smallish woodcreeper with a slim decurved bill. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults' face, crown, and nape are dusky brown with fine buff spots on the crown that are sparser on the nape and absent from the back.
