Caleb, I was on Vanuatu in June 2016 and got two different types: the Uniform Swiftlet and Glossy Swiftlet. I've attached my (rather average) photos. I took some time to identify these birds, and still am not totally sure.

The Uniform Swiftlet, as its name suggests, has a grey underside, with (maybe) lighter both fore and aft.

The Glossy Swiftlet is a much darker bird above with a white rump, and mostly a white belly.

I think!

Hi all
I’m in Vanuatu at the moment on Efate/Port Vila area...
This morning I observed a small swift type species zooming fast above the shore next to the beach and I HAVE an image...not a great one that I can’t upload at this second..
Anyone have an idea of what is found in this area at this time of year...
It’s a rather small swift
Thanks
Kirri
