The dusky-capped woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes fuscicapillus) is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae.

Their wings, uppertail coverts, rump, and tail are brown with a rufous tinge.

Juveniles are similar to adults with the largest difference being their shorter, straighter, and yellowish bill.

[8] The nominate subspecies L. f. fuscicapillus of the dusky-capped woodcreeper is found in the Amazon Basin of northeastern Bolivia and western Brazil, south of the Amazon River in the interfluve of the Madeira and Tapajós rivers.

It hitches along branches, often on their underside, mostly in the forest's sub-canopy and canopy, occasionally in the middle levels, and rarely if ever in the understory.

It is assumed to nest in tree cavities lined with bark chips or leaves like the other species of genus Lepidocolaptes.

Its principle call is a "loud and clear descending rattle initiated by a steep rising Kwirrrr!".
