This looks an interesting article and seems to be sufficiently well written to be a strong candidate to be a Good Article. I will start a review soon. simongraham (talk) 10:57, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Comments
This is a stable and well-written article. 40.3% of authorship is by 2001:4455:1A9:E100:D855:CA3:25C0:3CCE and 38.4% 2001:4455:1A9:E100:2DCE:2265:A4C4:DD2. It is currently ranked C class.


 * The article is of appropriate length, containing 1,791 words of readable prose and an infobox.
 * There is a risk of WP:CITEKILL, particularly WP:REPCITE. For example, there is no need for a citation at the end of the following sentences:
 * "In the 2003 Handbook of the Birds of the World, Volume 8, American ornithologist James Van Remsen Jr. explains that while P. albogularis is traditionally related to the Xenops sittines and other tree-bark gleaning Furnariidae, plumage and biogeography suggest that these different species are not directly related and that their similarities are merely the result of convergent evolution."
 * Removed
 * "Its upper mandible is dark gray and lower mandible a whitish-pale gray."
 * Removed
 * "Its face is blackish-brown and slightly darker than its head crown, which is a dull brown."
 * Removed


 * Similarly, take a look at some of the paragraphs and consider placing the citations at the end.
 * I think there's no more citeoverkill, perhaps.


 * Suggest splitting the sentence "Similar in behavior to nuthatches (Sitta spp.), the white-throated treerunner is a restless bird, moving in a jerky manner, changing direction rapidly, and may descend from trunks head first" to "Similar in behavior to nuthatches (Sitta spp.), the white-throated treerunner is a restless bird, moving in a jerky manner and changing direction rapidly. The bird may descend from trunks head first"
 * Replaced


 * Although not a GA criteria, I suggest adding ALT tags to images to increase inclusivity.
 * Added alts

Good work. Please ping me when you would like me to take another look. simongraham (talk) 18:43, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 * simongraham I think most of the citation overkill were mostly on description section. Done removing repeated citations and did the other issues. 2001:4455:1A9:E100:E85E:2218:7628:4FB9 (talk) 22:31, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
