woodhewer

A loud series of descending whistles from the dark shadows was an ivory-billed woodhewer; and an explosive song in the undergrowth, a gray-breasted wood wren.

1955, Roger Tory Peterson, James Fisher, Wild America, →ISBN:

In the two American families of tyrant-birds and woodhewers, neither of which are songsters, there is in some of the closely-related species a remarkable family resemblance in their voices.

2011, William Henry Hudson, Birds and Man, →ISBN, page 22:

If they differed, then the woodhewer feature was not a climbing adaptation. Difficulties with this method are illustrated by examination of the toe arrangement in the two groups, anisodactyl in the woodhewers and zygodactyl in the woodpeckers, but both are clearly adapted for climbing on vertical surfaces (Bock and de W. Miller, 1959).
