The Ecuadorian piculet (Picumnus sclateri) is a species of bird in subfamily Picumninae of the woodpecker family Picidae.

[2] The Ecuadorian piculet has three subspecies, the nominate P. s. sclateri (Taczanowski, 1877), P. s. parvistriatus (Chapman, 1921), and P. s. porcullae (Bond, J, 1954).

[3] Subspecies P. s. parvistriatus has larger white spots on the crown than the nominate, and the bars and streaks on the underparts are much thinner.

P. s. sclateri is found from El Oro and Loja provinces in southwestern Ecuador south into extreme northwestern Peru.

[3] The Ecuadorian piculet primarily inhabits deciduous forest and arid scrublands, though in Loja it also occurs in more humid landscapes.

It also makes "a high-pitched tseee-tsut or tseeet" and "a quick, stuttering series...tititi-swee.
