Perhaps check Dusky Woodswallow. The clincher would be if there is a couple of patches of white at the end of the tail. Contra: it does seem to lack the distinctive gape of the DW. (There is an image of a juvenile Dusky Woodswallow in the Birdlife Photography set of images.)

​It was found on the ground and has been placed in a box hung from a tree above that spot so the parents will be able to find it.
