The Black-billed Treehunter is a robust furnariid of Andean foothills forests in Ecuador and northern Peru, distinguished by its dark bill, boldly streaked brown plumage, and habit of probing mossy bark and dense bromeliads. It inhabits the undergrowth of humid montane forests and forest edges. It feeds on insects and other invertebrates, foraging low in dense vegetation.
