    Details

    Not identified in the field, but from a lucky series of clicks. Shape and plumage intermediate between Cliff Swallow and Barn Swallow. Tail fork deeper than Cliff but more shallow than Barn. Orange-buff rump and pale back stripes Cliff characters, white band in the tail, dark neck and whitish underwing coverts Barn characters. Head pattern also intermediate, with darker cheeks than what is typical on Cliff. Rufous markings on flanks likely from Cliff ssp melanogaster. Throat too dark (too Cliff-like) for Cave Swallow as one of the parents.
