About the Sickle-winged Nightjar
The sickle-winged nightjar (Eleothreptus anomalus) is a species of nightjar in the family Caprimulgidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and possibly Uruguay. The sickle-winged nightjar was described as Amblypterus anomalus which was later lumped into genus Caprimulgus.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 50 recordings for this species: 26 CC BY-NC-SA · 7 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
