About the Piping Long-tailed Woodcreeper
The piping long-tailed woodcreeper (Deconychura typica), also known as the little long-tailed woodcreeper, is a species of bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found from Costa Rica south to northern Colombia.
The piping long-tailed woodcreeper was formerly considered to be conspecific with what are now the whistling long-tailed woodcreeper (keeping D. longicauda) and the mournful long-tailed woodcreeper (D. pallida). BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) has treated them separately since the 2010s, and the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) followed suit in July 2023. However, the North American and South American Classification Committees of the American Ornithological Society and the Clements taxonomy treat the long-tailed woodcreeper as one species. The AOS notes that it probably consists of at least two and possibly three species.
The IOC and HBW recognize these three subspecies; Clements groups them as "long-tailed woodcreeper (little)": D. t. typica Cherrie, 1891 D. t. darienensis Griscom, 1929 D. t. minor Todd, 1919 Subspecies D. l. minor intergrades with D. l. darienensis and there... Wikipedia →
