Birding since 2006!
Hello! I was at the river today and had a small number of swallows hawking for insects. I can identify Tree and Barn Swallow on the wing, but there were some brown swallows which I couldn't identify. I found two perching in a tree, and got pictures of them both. The angle is not great, however. I'm wondering if enough of the bird is visible to determine whether these are Bank or Northern Rough-winged Swallows? I'm leaning toward rough-winged as there is no sharp line separating the brown on the underside from the white, but I'm not sure. I tried to move into a better position but they flew off when I did.
Any help is appreciated!
