You know, I'm sure I can see you reflected in his eye

I can't tell the difference between this and a Barn Swallow ?

They are very similar but the Pacific does not have the dark breast band which Barnie has; Barnie also has less chestnut on his forehead;there are a number of other differences but these are, I think, the most obvious.
