Mangaia swiftlet

The Mangaia swiftlet (Aerodramus manuoi) is an extinct species of bird in the swift family.

It was endemic to Mangaia in the Cook Islands.

It was closely allied with the extant Atiu swiftlet (Aerodramus sawtelli) of Atiu, Mangaia's neighbouring island, though it was probably slightly larger.

[1] It was described from six fossil bones recovered from a Holocene rock shelter deposit on Mangaia.
