The Solomons nightjar (Eurostopodus nigripennis) is a species of nightjar in the family Caprimulgidae.
It is found in the Solomon Islands archipelago. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It avoids human activity,[2] and (like other nightjars) is nocturnal.[3]
It was recently split from the white-throated nightjar based on differences in vocalizations, morphology, and range.[3]
Juvenile plumage is duller than that of adults.[3]
Solomons nightjars typically nest on flat ground 20-30m from the ocean in a mix of leaf litter, sand, and limestone coral,[3] with clutches of a single egg.[2] Eggs are off-white with large blotched speckling.[3] Nestlings are threatened by fire ants and feral cats.[3]
