Hispaniolan nightjar
The Hispaniola nightjar (Antrostomus ekmani), also known as the Hispaniolan nightjar, is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Greater Antillean nightjar, along with the Cuban nightjar. The International Ornithological Congress (IOC) considers it to be a distinct species[2], but the Clements and the American Ornithological Society taxonomies retain it as a subspecies.[3][4] It is found on Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), but is found much more commonly in the latter.
