The Hume's Tree-creeper, (Certhia manipurensis) was earlier included within the Brown-throated Treecreeper complex and identified as a separate species on the basis of their distinctive calls. This species in the treecreeper family is found in Assam, Myanmar, Shan Mountains, Laos and the Dalat Plateau.

This form has a rich cinnamon throat and breast with support for their status coming from nd molecular evidence and calls.[2][3]

The name commemorates the British naturalist Allan Octavian Hume who worked in India.[4]
