How do you know its injured? Did you found it on the ground?
Because “swift” can not take off the ground, even if they’re healthy. Put him anywhere higher up, like in the tree, and go away, usualy they fly away easily. You can wait and see if it’s successful or not.
There are apps to identify animals, try searching for “bird identification apps” on your app store
Most probably, right now is the time when these young birds are learning to fly, the problem is, that if it lands on to the ground, it doesn’t have long enough legs to get into the air again and is usually eaten my cats. One of the things we do in our town is to throw them upwards back into the sky. If it flies, it is fine, if it drops again (please catch it) then it might have other issues than just not being able to get of off the ground and vet intervention is needed.
Looks like it os youngster of Swift. They usually feed on insects (as far as I know), so you should feed them only with small insects. Also, looks like it’s feathers are already formed. I suggest just to go out and try to put it somewhere higher as it should try to fly. Probably you have found it after it’s not so successful first try to fly. It is always best to not touch, not feed and to not try help for birds – nature should decide what is best for them, not we.
Yep, that’s a bird for sure.

I have successfully rehabilitated three swifts last summer, please contact me, I’d love to help you out with food, vitamins and the general rehabilitation routine for swifts. I have sent you a personal message. Don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions regarding caring for it. I have consulted with a certified biologist and carer for wildlife before and during the rehabilitation process, so I really can help you.

That’s a Swift. They do everything in the air – eat, sleep etc. Their legs are not used to walking. Put it in the palm of your hand, lift your hand up in the air with it and it should fly away. Do not throw the bird, it might fall and badly injure itself.
