The Ameline swiftlet (Aerodramus amelis), also known as the grey swiftlet, was formerly considered as a subspecies of the uniform swiftlet. It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Despite some fears around conservation, the species remains a Least-concern species.[1][2]
Two subspecies are recognised:[3]
- A. a. amelis (Oberholser, 1906) – Philippines (except Palawan group)
- A. a. palawanensis (Stresemann, 1914) – Palawan group and Balambangan Island (north of northeast Borneo)
