MOLUCCAN SWIFTLET

Photographed on Lombok, Indonesia November 2016
(878)              MOLUCCAN SWIFTLET                    Aerodramus infuscatus 

INDONESIA (Lombok)          (101)        

Identified as Moluccan Swiftlet. This 'species' has now been split into three species: Sulawesi swiftlet (Aerodromes sororum), Halmahera swiftlet (Aerodromes infusccatus) and Seram swiftlet (Aerodromes swiftlet). The taxonomy remains confusing and neither of the three species are listed as occurring on Lombok. Natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical moist montane forests.
