It is found primarily in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the Himalayas, as well as in adjoining regions.

Appearance

A juvenile Bar-tailed treecreeper from Dharamkot, Himachal

The bar-tailed treecreeper has a flecked or striped feather pattern, usually in black, brown, white and red hues. This coloration allows the treecreeper to blend in with its forest surroundings quite well.
