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.
