Hoffmanns's woodcreeper is one of the larger members of its subfamily. It is slim, with a long tail and a medium-length straight bill. It is 28 to 29 cm (11 to 11 in) long. Males weigh 78.5 to 86 g (2.8 to 3.0 oz) and females 74 to 89 g (2.6 to 3.1 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a dark buffy face with a faint scaly appearance and a faint supercilium. Their forehead and crown are rufescent that becomes rufous-brown on their nape and back; their crown feathers have black tips. Their rump, wings, and tail are cinnamon-rufous to rufous-chestnut. Their throat and underparts are dull buffy with an olive cast; the latter become more ochraceous on the belly. Their breast has faint buffy streaks. Their belly and flanks have faint narrow dusky bars. Their iris is light gray to brown, their bill dusky gray to black with usually a paler mandible, and their legs and feet gray. Juveniles are similar to adults but more reddish above and more ochraceous below with variable amounts of barring and streaking on their underparts.
