Bank swallow? NJ (1 Viewer)

Is this a bank swallow? Seen at DeKorte, NJ a couple days ago. I'm thinking it might be too early for immature tree swallows. Thanks

hard to tell for certain, but i think it is a better fit for Tree Swallow

Tree swallow

The relatively straight line of dark to white plumage on the face, just below the eye gives it away.

On a Bank swallow, the dark would extend down much further, and with much more irregularity in the border straightness.

Another vote for Tree Swallow.

Ya know, my first thought was a Bank Swallow but looks like my first thought was wrong.

Good explanation, thanks.
