Planalto Woodcreeper (Dendrocolaptes platyrostris)
About the Planalto Woodcreeper
The planalto woodcreeper (Dendrocolaptes platyrostris) is a sub-oscine passerine bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The planalto woodcreeper is most closely related to the black-banded woodcreeper (D. picumnus) and Hoffmanns's woodcreeper (D. hoffmannsi) and several authors have suggested that they are conspecific. It has two subspecies, the nominate D. p. platyrostris (Spix, 1824) and D. p. intermedius (Berlepsch, 1883). At least one work has suggested that vocal differences between them warrant their treatment as separate species, but later work does not support that separation.
