The white-rumped spinetail, or white-rumped needletail, is a swift found in the forests of Bangladesh, India (the Western Ghats) and Nepal. It is often seen over waterbodies in the middle of forest. It can resemble a house swift but has a white vent. It is insectivorous (Wikipedia, general species account).
That short account is the only source opened. It gives no size, voice, nest or season detail, so none are stated, and the entry is kept short on purpose rather than borrowing from other swifts.
