[TN-Bird] Nightjar Picture ID help

Hello Tennessee and Bristol Area Birders,

Tom McNeil, JT McNeil, and myself (Rob Biller) birded in our neighboring state 
of North Carolina today.  We ran across a nightjar sitting a tree at Valle 
Crucis Community Park in Watagua County, NC.  The only other nightjar I have 
tried to identify in the day, until today, was a Common Nighthawk in Panama 
City, FL.  Any help confirming this ID 
as a Chuck-will's-widow (which we believe it is) would be appreciated.  
Likewise, any comments on why it is not would be equally appreciated.  The 
pictures are linked to my gallery page where you can click on the pictures and 
get better looks.   Since this is not a Tennessee bird, I don't  think that 
Tennessee Birds or Bristol Birds would be an appropriate place for bunch of 
responses concerning this ID (unless it is OKed by the supreme commander and 
chief).  So anybody who would like to  help with the ID may leave a comment at 
my sorely out-dated bird journal or at the gallery site.  Thank you for any 
help with this ID.
