Bar-tailed treecreeper

Certhia himalayana

Description:

The bar-tailed treecreeper has a flecked or striped feather pattern, usually in black, brown, white and red hues. This coloration allows the treecreeper to blend in with its forest surroundings quite well.

Habitat:

It is found primarily in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the Himalayas, as well as in adjoining regions.

Notes:

The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation.
