Barn or Cliff Swallow?
Observed this swallow nesting underneath the driveway of our local hospital. I feel fairly certain it is a Barn Swallow due to the length of its tail, but thought the the color on the breast wasn't as orange as I would have expected and looked more like that of a Cliffy.

The colors are good, and the tail is diagnostic. Just a Barn.
