Hispaniolan nightjar
The Hispaniola nightjar (Antrostomus ekmani), also known as the Hispaniolan nightjar, was previously considered a subspecies of the Greater Antillean nightjar, along with the Cuban nightjar. The International Ornithological Congress now consider it to be a distinct species. It is found on Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic), but is found much more commonly in the latter.
