The streak-headed woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes souleyetii) is a passerine bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae.

It is found in Mexico, Central America, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Venezuela, and on Trinidad.

Their crown and nape are dark brown with bold whitish buff streaks that often extend onto the upper back.

The streaks are wide on the breast and sides, those on the belly and flanks narrower, and those on the undertail coverts minimal.

[4][10] The streak-headed woodcreeper's diet is mostly non-flying arthropods, and other invertebrates such as crabs and small fruits are minor components.

Its breeding season varies across its range, for example in June and July in Mexico and April to October in Colombia.

It usually nests in tree cavities, either natural or excavated by a woodpecker, and pads the bottom with wood chips and bark pieces.

[4][5] Its calls include "a harsher, more rattling, shorter trill", "a soft plaintive pyuu", and "a loud, rapidly quavering, descending pee'i'i'u".

As these habitats are often a result of human-altered environments, this species is less sensitive to human activity than other woodcreepers.
