Strong-billed Woodcreeper (Xiphocolaptes promeropirhynchus) - 04Aug2019

This huge woodcreeper is one of the largest in size in its family (woodcreepers).  It also has one of the largest ranges across much of South America and some of Central America.  Consequently, it has a huge potential for a future split when they finish doing DNA studies.  Currently there are 23 sub-species within the promeropirhynchus Species designation.  We saw the below bird during my first trip to Colombia.
