2018-04-21 Camino a Tzontehuitz (chp), Mexico Subspecies: chiapensis? Even though you can't see the bird that well here, it should be possible to perceive that the species is rather compact and dark compared to other nightjars. It is one of the most widespread ones in mountainous regions in Mexico. |

2020-01-05 Carretera Pánuco (sin), Mexico Subspecies: [?] Other than being a dark bird (good for the species), the very big white patches on the outer tail are fairly diagnostic in the area for the male of this species. The bird was calling too, confirming the identification. We had different flashlights pointed at it, hence the different light quality one photo to another. |
