White-rumped Swiftlet (Aerodramus spodiopygius leucopygius)

This species is similar to the Satin Swiftlet (now split from Glossy Swiftlet) but has more pointed wings and lacks glossy blue upperparts. In New Caledonia also differs in having a narrower white rump, ill-defined paler lower breast and belly, no white on underwing, and no white tail-spots.
