I've found that, in the spring before the juvenile Tree Swallows leave their 
boxes, it's a good bet that, with a closer look, brown-appearing Swallows will 
turn out to be a Rough-winged.  This morning, one of each posed for photos, on 
the wire in a similar location and in similar light.  Flickr links follow.  The 
difference is pretty conspicuous in these photos, but they still are a 
challenge for me when in flight.
