The pale creamy spots on the scapulars are a feature of only Philippine Nightjar and Large-tailed Nightjar in The Philippines. In The Philippines Large-tailed Nightjar is restricted to Palawan (I believe), so unless this picture was taken there, I feel this has to be Philippine. Kennedy et al says they are "nearly identical". Not sure about that, maybe someone else can comment?

I agree with Paul. We can't distinguish large-tailed and Philippine from this photo though, probably only in the hand (size of white spots in the tail, buff line in the wing etc). If it is in Laguna you can be sure it is Philippine
