The Guianan woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes albolineatus) or lineated woodcreeper is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.
Until the 2010s what is now the Guianan woodcreeper was known as the lineated woodcreeper and had five subspecies assigned to it. Starting at that time all but its nominate subspecies were split from it, eventually resulting in a monotypic Guianan woodcreeper, the Duida woodcreeper (L. duidae), the Inambari woodcreeper (L. fatimalimae), and the dusky-capped woodcreeper (L. fuscicapillus).
The Guianan woodcreeper is 17 to 19 cm (6.7 to 7.5 in) long; males weigh 19 to 24 g (0.67 to 0.85 oz) and females 18 to 20.5 g (0.63 to 0.72 oz). It is a smallish woodcreeper with a slim decurved bill. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults' face, crown, and nape are dusky brown with fine buff spots on the crown that are sparser on the nape and absent from the back. Their back and wing coverts are dark russet-brown, and their rump, wings, and tail rufous-chestnut with blackish brown tips on the primaries. Their throat... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Guianan Woodcreeper is recorded against all the birds logged in Brownsberg Nature Park (27 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
