Standard-winged Nightjar (Caprimulgus longipennis)

BIRB! I love how pictures of Standard-winged nightjars come with the subject either half asleep or "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE" haha! The breeding males aren't very standard in their wings though, so I don't know why that's their common name. Once per breeding season, many of the males grow one feather on each wing that is longer than their body. I think this only happen in roughly 5 out of the 39 species within the genus. Also, "longipennis" actually means "Long wings" so I REALLY don't know why they called it "standard" in English! Why are they called that!?
