Chestnut-collared Swift (Streptoprocne rutila)
About the Chestnut-collared Swift
The chestnut-collared swift (Streptoprocne rutila) is a species of bird in subfamily Cypseloidinae of the swift family Apodidae. It is found from Mexico and Trinidad south to Peru and Bolivia. The chestnut-collared swift has at various times been placed in genera Cypseloides and Chaetura. These three subspecies are recognized: S. r. griseifrons (Nelson, 1900) S. r. brunnitorques (Lafresnaye, 1844) S. r. rutila (Vieillot, 1817) Subspecies S. r. brunnitorques has been treated as a separate species, but it is now (2020) suspected of not being even a separate subspecies, as "no clear diagnosis of distinctions between brunnitorques and rutila has been published.".
