Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Climacteridae > Cormobates > Cormobates leucophaeaCormobates leucophaea (White-throated Treecreeper)Synonyms: Cormobates leucophaeus; Cormobates leucophaeus leucophaeus The white-throated treecreeper (Cormobates leucophaea) is an Australian treecreeper found in the forests of eastern Australia. It is unrelated to the northern hemisphere treecreepers. It is a small passerine bird with predominantly brown and white plumage and measuring some 15 cm (6 in) long on average. It is insectivorous, eating mainly ants. Unlike treecreepers of the genus Climacteris, the white-throated treecreeper does not engage in cooperative breeding, and wherever it overlaps with species of that genus, it feeds upon much looser bark besides typically using different trees. |
