Aerodramus vanikorensis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1832) .

Uniform Swiftlet

Common at all elevations. Often seen high above the canopy, and at one point observed an extremely large flock (~200 birds) of presumed Uniform Swiftlets along the coast. Potentially more common in lowland ecosystems than highland ecosystems. Identification: Overall darker and duller in color on dorsum than Glossy Swiftlet, with no apparent sheen observed, ruling out Glossy Swiftlet. Lacked any white rump, ruling out Whiterumped Swiftlet. Voucher registration number(s): O.78247 (skin).
