White-rumped Spinetail

The white-rumped spinetail, or white-rumped needletail, is a swift found in the forests of Bangladesh, India (the Western Ghats) and Nepal. It is often seen over waterbodies in the middle of forest. It can look like the house swift but has a white vent, and it is insectivorous (Wikipedia, general species account).

The cached account is very short and gives no measurements or breeding information. SoIB 2023 treats it as endemic to the Indian subcontinent, a resident forest bird, rates it a Moderate conservation priority, and gives a rapid long-term decline of about 73% and a Moderate range of about 91,000 km² (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
