Certhia americana
Distinctive in habits and morphology, the Brown Creeper is a small, well-camouflaged bird of woodlands. It creeps along tree trunks, spiraling upward, picking invertebrates from the bark with its curved and pointed bill.

This bird is seldom seen due to its quiet nature, small size, and great camouflage.

Thanks Emma, The strong pale eyebrow is a good field mark. Brown Creepers are the only member of the Certhiidae family found in North America. If you can find them, there isn't much to confuse them with.
amazing.
Is the bar over it's eye a distinguishing feature?
