It is found in Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. == Taxonomy and systematics == The tawny-winged woodcreeper has three subspecies, the nominate D. a. anabatina (Sclater, PL, 1859), D. a. typhla (Oberholser, 1904), and D. a. saturata (Carriker, 1910).

Males of the nominate subspecies weigh 34 to 42 g (1.2 to 1.5 oz) and females 29 to 39 g (1.0 to 1.4 oz). The species is a medium-sized member of its genus, with a straight bill, a short tail, and a ruffled nape. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a brown head with buffy supercilium and bare gray skin around the eye. Their crown, nape, and back are dark olive-brown and their uppertail coverts and tail are cinnamon-rufous to rufous-chestnut. Their wing coverts are dark olive-brown and their flight feathers tawny with dusky tips. Their throat is pale buff and their…
