Drab Swiftlet, Collocalia neglecta, breeds in the eastern and southern Lesser Sundas in the Oriental Region. It is a swift in the family Apodidae and is found in Indonesia. George Robert Gray described it in 1866. The bird was once placed with the glossy swiftlet, but it is now treated as a separate species. Its breeding range includes Timor and other islands in the Lesser Sunda group. Two subspecies are recognised, with one in the southern islands and the other in the eastern and central islands.
