I only obtained one quick pic of this Colombian endemic and generally hard to see bird. Oddly enough it is one of the only 5 species in the Genus which also has the Chestnut-capped Foliage-gleaner which I saw in Brazil, but in my opinion they look nothing like each other. The Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner has a Vulnerable status per IUCN classification mostly due to its small range in the Santa Marta mountains which is also prone to habitat fragmentation due to farming. Thankfully about 40% of its range is protected.
