The plain-brown woodcreeper (Dendrocincla fuliginosa), is a sub-oscine passerine bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in the tropical New World from Honduras through South America to central Brazil and in Trinidad and Tobago.
The plain-brown woodcreeper's taxonomy is unsettled. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) includes subspecies taunayi in the plain-brown woodcreeper. The IOC and Clements assign it to the plain-winged woodcreeper (D. turdina), which itself was once considered to be part of the plain-brown woodcreeper.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Plain-brown Woodcreeper sighting in Chagres National Park on a given day, based on 103 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 144th most-seen of the 372 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Plain-brown Woodcreeper in Chagres National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and October, the lowest months. That is one of Chagres National Park's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain against 300 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Plain-brown Woodcreeper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
13th of 36
Of the 36 parks where we can rate Plain-brown Woodcreeper sightings, Chagres National Park ranks 13th at about 10%. The best odds are in Serra dos Órgãos National Park (Brazil, about 30%), Soberanía National Park (Panama, about 30%) and Henri Pittier National Park (Venezuela, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plain-brown Woodcreeper is recorded against all the birds logged in Chagres National Park (103 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.
