It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. == Taxonomy and systematics == The montane foliage-gleaner has these six subspecies: A. s. anxia (Bangs, 1902) A. s. perijana Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1952 A. s. venezuelana (Hellmayr, 1911) A. s. striaticollis Lafresnaye, 1841 A. s. montana (Tschudi, 1844) A. s. yungae (Chapman, 1923) Some authors in the early twentieth century treated the montane foliage-gleaner and the scaly-throated foliage-gleaner (A. variegaticeps) as conspecific. Later they were considered to form a superspecies but by the early 2000s it was determined that they are not even sister species. == Description == The montane foliage-gleaner is 16 to 17 cm (6.3 to 6.7 in) long and weighs 22 to 28 g (0.78 to 0.99 oz). It is a medium-sized furnariid with a wedge-shaped bill. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies A. s. striaticollis have a mostly dark brown face with some pale flecks and a wide pale tawny-buff eyering that extends as a streak behind the eye. Their crown, nape, and upper back are dull dark…
