Observation details
I am not expecting the attached photo to prove it, and disappointingly the two birds remained silent, but on field observation of size, shape and flight style I am confident of the identification. As far as I know Whitehead's Swiftlet has not been reported from the mountains of Eastern Mindanao before, but as far as I know neither had Bukidnon Woodcock or McGreggor's Cuckooshrike. The adjacent mountain peaks at 2,670 masl, our observation was at 1400masl during bad weather.
