Striated swallow or Red-rumped swallow?
I took the pictures on May 13 in Taipei ,Taiwan. Could someone tell me what swallows they are? Striated swallow(Hirundo striolata) or Red-rumped swallow(Hirundo daurica)?

I'd say they were Striated Swallow. The pale collar seems to be broken by a dark line from the crown to the mantle. The streaking underneath is quite variable, and looks ok to me. Also, Striated is the commoner of the two in Taiwan.
