About the Cocoa Woodcreeper

The cocoa woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus susurrans) is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.

Biogeography and molecular data suggest that the relationships among the subspecies of both deserve further study; some may be assigned to the wrong species or be species in their own right.

The cocoa woodcreeper has these eight subspecies that fall into two groups: "Lawrence's" or "nana" group X. s. confinis (Bangs, 1903) X. s. costaricensis (Ridgway, 1888) X. s. marginatus Griscom, 1927 X. s. nana (Lawrence, 1863)

X. s. rosenbergi Bangs, 1910 "Cocoa" or "susurrans" group X. s. jardinei (Dalmas, 1900) X. s. margaritae Phelps Sr. & Phelps Jr., 1949 X. s. susurrans (Jardine, 1847) The cocoa woodcreeper is 21 to 25.5 cm (8.3 to 10 in) long and weighs 43 to 58 g (1.5 to 2.0 oz). It is a medium-sized member of... Wikipedia →
