Crested Treeswift

Hemiprocne coronata (Tickell, SR 1833)

The crested treeswift is a kind of tree swift. It was for some time considered the same species as its eastern relative, the grey-rumped treeswift, but they do not interbreed where their ranges overlap. It is distinct in flight, with long, bowed wings and a deeply forked tail that usually appears narrow and pointed. Source: Wikipedia
