The Nechisar nightjar (Caprimulgus solala) is a species of nightjar in the family Caprimulgidae. It is endemic to Ethiopia.[1]
The species was first discovered in 1990 when researchers discovered a decomposing specimen in the Nechisar National Park.[2][3] After bringing back a single wing from the specimen to the Natural History Museum in London, it was determined to be a previously unknown species. Its specific name, solala, means "only a wing".[3]
Its natural habitat is subtropical. It is probably endemic to Nechisar NP.
