Certhia familiaris

Certhia familiaris, the Eurasian treecreeper (Certhiidae), is a small insectivorous passerine weighing about 8 g. It spirals upward along tree bark, probing crevices with its decurved bill for invertebrates. Fossil representatives are known from Quaternary deposits across the Holarctic, including North America. Its cryptic streaked plumage provides excellent camouflage against tree bark.
