Crag Martin? Atlas, Morocco (1 Viewer)

[Gduff]

Apparently Rock Martin is also an option in this area, but I guess that black underwing coverts point toward Crag Martin?

I think you are right with Crag Martin with the feature you mention & the white spots in the tail looking quite large.

I am not sure which 'Atlas' you mean, with 3 ranges in Morocco. Rock Martin, or Pale Crag Martin under IOC, is a species of the Saharan biome and is generally south of all three ranges although there are a few records from the southern slope of the Anti-Atlas.

I agree this is Eurasian Crag Martin

Rock / Pale Crag Martin is very rare and somewhat mysterious in Morocco. Where in "Atlas" are your photos from ?
