The Todd's nightjar (Setopagis heterura) is a species of nightjar in the Caprimulgidae family. It is found in woodland and other semi-open habitats in northern Colombia, Venezuela and Guyana.[2] The alternative name, Santa Marta nightjar, after the Santa Marta Mountains, is therefore misleading.[3] It is fairly common in most of its range. It has historically been included as a subspecies of the little nightjar (S. parvula). The two are visually very similar, but vocally distinctive.[4][5]
