The Black-banded Woodcreeper is a robust, brown-streaked bird of the Americas with bold blackish-and-buff barring across its breast and a strong decurved bill for prying insects from bark. It ranges from Mexico south through Central America and across much of South America in humid forests and forest edges. It forages by hitching up tree trunks and branches, probing for beetles, ants, and other invertebrates.
