About the Narrow-billed Woodcreeper

The narrow-billed woodcreeper is 18 to 22 cm (7.1 to 8.7 in) long; males weigh 23 to 37.5 g (0.81 to 1.3 oz) and females 21.5 to 33.5 g (0.76 to 1.2 oz).

Adults of the nominate subspecies L. a. angustirostris have pale lores, a buffy white supercilium that... Wikipedia →
