Dendrocolaptidae is a former taxonomic family within the order Passeriformes (perching birds or songbirds) that included bird species known as woodcreepers. They are native to the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas and are known for their brownish plumage and strong, curved beaks. However, this family has been re-classified and the species within it are now generally considered part of the family Furnariidae. They are generally characterized by their ability to creep along tree trunks to search for insects.
