Short-tailed swift

The Short-tailed Swift is about 10.5 cm long, and weighs 20 g. It has long narrow wings, a robust body and a short tail. The sexes are similar. It is mainly black with a pale rump and tail. It can be distinguished from related species in its range, such as the Band-rumped Swift or the Gray-rumped Swift by the lack of contrast between the rump and the tail, the latter being much darker in the other species.

The Short-tailed swift is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
