I would say your correct. Where exactly was this at?

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?
