CAPRIMULGIFORMES

Aerodramus spodiopygius (Peale, 1849) . White-rumped Swiftlet

Scarce. A small number observed once in mixed flock with Glossy and Uniform swiftlets. Identification: We identified this species based on its mostly darky/sooty upperparts, similar to Uniform Swiftlet, with no noticeable sheen observed. A smudgy white rump was clearly visible, with little contrast between the overall uniform dark/sooty upperparts and underparts, compared with the white ‘rump’ which more noticeably contrasted with the glossy plumage on Glossy Swiftlet.
