Brigida's woodcreeper (Hylexetastes uniformis brigidai), also known as the Mato Grosso woodcreeper, is a subspecies of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Brazil .[1]

Taxonomy and systematics

The taxonomy of Brigida's woodcreeper is unsettled. It was originally described as a monotypic species, H. brigidai, and until July 2023, the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) treated it that way. On that date the IOC reassigned it as a subspecies of the uniform woodcreeper (H. uniformis), joining the nominate subspecies H. u. uniformis.[1] The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (SACC) and the Clements taxonomy have long treated it as a uniform woodcreeper subspecies.[2][3] BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) treats both uniformis and brigidai as subspecies of the red-billed woodcreeper (H. perrotii).[4]
