Red-rumped Swallow and Barn Swallow

Agree 1-3 are Red-rumped and 4 immature Barn, but isn't 5 an immature Wire-tailed?

, but isn't 5 an immature Wire-tailed?

I think that the shape of the outer tail feathers is more like Barn, with a deep fork that tapers towards the tip. Wire-tailed has a squarer ended tail then very fine filaments coming off the outer edge.
