White-naped Swift

Streptoprocne semicollaris (de Saussure, HLF 1859)

The white-naped swift is the largest representative of the swift family in the New World and one of the two largest species in the world. Only the purple needletail of Asia may be slightly larger. This bird is found principally in western and central Mexico, with one record on the Guatemalan border. Source: Wikipedia
