Aegotheles bennettii (Barred Owlet-Nightjar)

Barred Owlet-Nightjar

Aegotheles bennettii Salvadori, AT; d'Albertis, LM 1875

The barred owlet-nightjar is a species of bird in the owlet-nightjar family Aegothelidae. It is found in New Guinea. The species was originally thought to be the same species as the Australian owlet-nightjar, until that species was found within the range of the barred owlet-nightjar. It was also considered to be the same species as the Vogelkop owlet-nightjar. There are three subspecies, the nominate, from south-eastern New Guinea, A. b. wiedenfeldi from northern New Guinea, and A. b. plumifer from the D’Entrecasteaux Islands. Source: Wikipedia
