Woodcreeper? - Madre de Dios, Peru (1 Viewer)

[part_timer]

Anybody out there brave enough to have a go at identifying the bird in the attached horribly over-exposed photograph?

It was taken at the Manu Learning Centre, Madre de Dios, Peru back in 2014. I think it may be a Woodcreeper, possibly Striped, but it was actually in a garden setting rather than normal Woodcreeper territory, albeit at the edge of secondary rainforest; but my wife thinks a juvenile something else (doesn't know what!) . Any opinions welcome

Fledgling russet backed oropendola?

Bright yellow outer tail feathers rules out a lot of species

Agree with this. Not a woodcreeper

I hadn't actually noticed the bright yellow tail feathers - I thought they were part of the surrounding foliage, but checking again you are absolutely right! There was a colony of Russet-backed Oropendola at the site, so no doubt that's what it is.
Thanks for your responses.
