Description
The drab swiftlet is 9–10 cm (3.5–3.9 in) in length with a square tail. It has a satin grayish-blue back with slightly glossy crown and tail. The throat and the upper breast is a mid-gray with a lighter margin to the feathers. The lower breast, flanks and belly are white but the rump is dark. There are dull white spots on the inner webs of the tail feathers. Most birds have a tuft of feathers on the hallux, the rear facing toe. Subspecies perneglecta is darker and has more gloss on the feathers. 
Habitat
Drab Swiftlet frequents a diverse range of habitats, prominently including human-affected areas such as villages, gardens, and coastal caves, as well as natural environments like savanna, and both secondary and primary forests. They exhibit a preference for humid over arid zones, thriving in environments that offer proximity to both coastal areas and forested regions. Notably, drab Swiftlet is often found near or at sea level in broader geographical regions such as the Nusa Tenggara archipelago.
