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 Manu National Park on a given day, based on 187 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 287th most-seen of the 641 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, July–September and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Plain-brown Woodcreeper in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–April, June and October–November, the lowest months.
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.
20th of 36
Of the 36 parks where we can rate Plain-brown Woodcreeper sightings, Manu National Park ranks 20th 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 Manu National Park (187 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.
