NO UK STATUS / IUCN Red List: Least Concern*
Another species with somewhat unresolved taxonomy, as some split it into the Eastern and Western Barred Woodceeper, and occassionally a third as well. In this instance, the species here would be the Western Barred Woodcreeper. A more timid bird than several of its woodcreeper counterparts, this represents the only view I got of one on the trip.
