As I began reviewing some of the pictures taken on the Saturday field trip
(thanks Kelly and Teresa for a great trip), I found that I had taken a few
pictures of swallows on lines.  I thought these were all Barn Swallows but I
have found something that does not fit that ID.  It looks like a Cliff
Swallow - I hit on that ID because of the white patch on the forehead.  The
first picture is the one that originally caught my eye.

Not a quality picture (neither picture is quality) but I am hoping that this
is good enough to confirm ID.  Cliff Swallow?

This picture shows 2 Barn Swallows on the left and the bird in question on
the right.  Another Cliff Swallow?  The coloring on the head looks different
but it does also have a white patch on the forehead.  Perhaps the coloring
is just an artifact of the conditions and camera.

Or are the photos not of sufficient quality to ID the birds?
