Vaurie's nightjar
The Vaurie's nightjar ("Caprimulgus centralasicus") is a putative species of nightjar in the family Caprimulgidae.
It is endemic to China.
Its natural habitat is cold desert. However, it is threatened by habitat loss.
This bird is only known from a single 1929 specimen from Xinjiang, China, described by Charles Vaurie. It has never been found again, and it is quite possibly invalid as it has not yet been compared to the similar subspecies of the European nightjar, "
