The grey-rumped treeswift (Hemiprocne longipennis) is a species of bird in the Hemiprocnidae family. There are currently four extant species in the family. Like the other members of Hemiprocnidae, this species is closely related to true swifts as well. However, unlike true swifts, the treeswifts are arboreal in nature, often seen perched on trees, high tension power transmission lines and on pylons. When perched, the wing tips cross over the tail. The grey-rumped treeswift (Hemiprocne longipennis) is commonly found in peninsular Malaysia but has an extremely large range with limited information about the population trend. Order: Apodiformes, Family: Hemiprocnidae, Species: Hemiprocne longipennis (Rafinesque, 1802) |
