The Buff-throated Woodcreeper is one of the many species in South America that is a mess taxonomically. If you look at the Wiki entry it would have you believe this species only inhabits the far east of Brazil and a disjunct population in northern South America. If you look at the eBird visual, it shows a far greater range across much of the northern half of South America. The latter works better for me as I did see it in the Pantanal in Brazil which is smack dab in the middle. This confusion stems from the fact that this bird is placed in a different taxonomy depending on which authority you follow. I follow eBird which uses Clements taxonomy.
