Ovenbirds or furnariids are a large family of small suboscine passerine birds found from Mexico and Central to southern South America. They form the family Furnariidae. The ovenbird, which breeds in North America, is not a furnariid – rather it is a distantly related bird of the wood warbler family, Parulidae.
The woodcreepers (Dendrocolaptinae) comprise a subfamily of suboscine passerine birds endemic to the Neotropics. They have traditionally been considered a distinct family Dendrocolaptidae, but most authorities now place them as a subfamily of the ovenbirds (Furnariidae). They superficially resemble the Old World treecreepers, but they are unrelated and the similarities are due to convergent evolution. The subfamily contains around 57 species in 15 to 20 genera.
The spot-crowned woodcreeper, is a passerine bird which breeds in the tropical New World from central Mexico in the east, the Sierra Madre Orientals, to northern Panama.
The streak-headed woodcreeper is a passerine bird which breeds in the tropical New World from southern Mexico to northwestern Peru, northern Brazil and Guyana, and also on Trinidad.

Dendrocincla is a genus of bird in the woodcreeper subfamily (Dendrocolaptinae).
The Guianan woodcreeper is a species of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily.
Lepidocolaptes is a genus of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily. These are relatively small woodcreepers with fairly long, thin and slightly decurved bills.
The narrow-billed woodcreeper is a species of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Suriname, and Uruguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and dry savanna. As all members of its subfamily, it is a creeping bird which lives on small arthropods and vertebrates it catches under the bark of trees. The woodcreeper nests in cavities, both natural and bird-(e.g. woodpecker)made. It lays two to three white eggs, brooded jointly by the pair.
The scalloped woodcreeper is a species of bird in the ovenbird family.
The montane woodcreeper is a perching bird species in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family (Furnariidae).
The white-striped woodcreeper is a species of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily. It is endemic to Mexico.
The scaled woodcreeper is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae. It is endemic to Brazil.
The strong-billed woodcreeper is a species of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily. It is one of the largest woodcreepers and the largest furnariids, though the slender long-billed woodcreeper is longer and the great rufous woodcreeper is larger overall. There is some size variation across the range, with typical birds measuring 28–31 cm (11-12.5 in) long and weighing about 120 grams (4.2 oz). Large strong-billed woodcreepers can measure up to 35 cm (14 in) and weigh 169 grams (6 oz). The most distinctive feature of this typically marked striped, brownish bird is its massive, semi-decurved bill, which may be brown or blackish.
Xiphorhynchus is a genus of bird in the woodcreeper subfamily (Dendrocolaptinae). Its monophyly requires confirmation. It contains the following species:
The Duida woodcreeper is a species of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily. It is found in northwest Amazonia in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
The Inambari woodcreeper is a species of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily. It is found in western Amazonia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
The dusky-capped woodcreeper or Rondônia woodcreeper, is a species of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily. It is found in southwestern Amazonia between the Tapajos and Madeira Rivers. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
