Choco Poorwill (Nyctiphrynus rosenbergi)
About the Choco Poorwill
The Chocó poorwill (Nyctiphrynus rosenbergi) is a species of nightjar in the family Caprimulgidae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. The Chocó poorwill was originally described as Caprimulgus rosenbergi, in a genus that was later split into multiple genera. For a time it was treated as a subspecies of ocellated poorwill (Nyctiphrynus ocellatus) but plumage, vocalization, and genetic differences show it to be its own species. It is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 33 recordings for this species: 6 CC BY-NC-SA. 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.
