Observation details
Undoubtedly correct ID given the habitat and behaviour of the bird. Rocky grassland habitat, the bird resided in fixed location yet proved difficult to photograph. After a couple of attempts the individual was left undisturbed. Wing flapping pattern and colouration rules out Large-tailed which is a winter visitor here. Bird was not intricately patterned for Indian Nightjar and did not choose to perch on trees at all ruling out Jungle Nightjar. Out of focus images attached.
