About the Northern Barred Woodcreeper

The northern barred woodcreeper (Dendrocolaptes sanctithomae) is a sub-oscine passerine bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found from southern Mexico through Central America to Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. The northern barred woodcreeper was originally treated as a subspecies of the Amazonian barred woodcreeper (D. certhia). They were separated in the 1990s and remain a superspecies. Its further taxonomy, however, is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and the Clements taxonomy assign it these four subspecies: D. s. sheffleri Binford, 1965 D. s. sanctithomae (Lafresnaye, 1852) D. s. hesperius Bangs, 1907 D. s. punctipectus Phelps, WH & Gilliard, 1940
