About the Plain-brown Woodcreeper

The plain-brown woodcreeper (Dendrocincla fuliginosa), is a sub-oscine passerine bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in the tropical New World from Honduras through South America to central Brazil and in Trinidad and Tobago.

The plain-brown woodcreeper's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and the Clements taxonomy assign it these 11 subspecies: D. f. ridgwayi Oberholser, 1904 D. f. lafresnayei Ridgway, 1888

D. f. meruloides (Lafresnaye, 1851) D. f. deltana Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1950 D. f. barinensis Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1949 D. f. phaeochroa Berlepsch & Hartert, EJO, 1902 D. f. neglecta Todd, 1948 D. f. atrirostris (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1838)

D. f. fuliginosa (Vieillot, 1818) D. f. rufoolivacea Ridgway, 1888 D. f. trumaii Sick, 1950 BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) includes subspecies taunayi in the plain-brown woodcreeper. The IOC and Clements assign it to the plain-winged woodcreeper (D. turdina), which itself was once considered to be part of the plain-brown woodcreeper.
