The scalloped woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes falcinellus) is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae.

Their crown and nape are dusky to dull black with obvious rich buff spots that often continue as faint streaks onto the upper back.

Their back and wing coverts are olive-brown to cinnamon-brown, and their rump and tail rufous-chestnut.

Their underparts are olive with bold, blackish-edged, buff streaks that give a scaly appearance.

It takes most of its prey from epiphytes, bromeliads, moss, and bark surfaces and crevices.

[5] The scalloped woodcreeper's breeding season has not been defined but appears to span at least October to December.

It has a fairly large range, and though its population size is not known it is believed to be stable.

It is "[g]enerally believed to be highly sensitive to human disturbance; nevertheless, is able to exist in moderate numbers in older second growth and even relatively small forest fragments in [southern] Brazil."
