A small, dark swiftlet with a shallowly forked tail, roosting and nesting in caves and using simple echolocation clicks to navigate the darkness inside.
Forages in flocks over open country and forest edge for tiny flying insects, and its cave-nesting habits tie it closely to karst landscapes across Sundaland.
