The Concolor Woodcreeper is distributed in Brazilian Amazonia south of the Amazon from the river Madeira to the river Tocantins and into north-east Bolivia.

It is found mainly in tall terra firme forest such as that found at Carajás.

The sub-species D. c. concolor has virtually no barring which is such a prominent feature of the nominate and most other sub-species to the extent that it has been treated by some authorities as a separate species. However, because of vocal and morphological similarities it is now generally treated as a weakly barred sub-species of Amazonian Barred Woodcreeper Dendrocolaptes certhia. It also has a redder bill than the nominate.

Note that the Amazonian Barred Woodcreeper is distributed in a total of 5 sub-species throughout the Amazon and most of the Orinoco Basins.
