Medium sized nightjar, grey head and mantle streaked black, three white wing spots before the emargination on outer primary, dark “shoulder” patch, creamy stripe on scapulars, salmon wing spots on upper wing coverts, rufous collar, lores greyish, dark square primaries. Tail absent, probably reason for delayed migration?
