These were photographed at Bubali Bird sanctuary yesterday (15.12.23).
At first I thought the yellow one is a yellow warbler, but the markings around the face made me doubt the ID.
We saw several barn swallows flying over the place, but this one looked different. A quick look at photos in merlin made me think it could be a white winged swallow or blue and white swallow, but I know nothing about birds in this part of the world.

Can anyone help with the IDs?

First looks like prairie warbler. Suggest brown-chested martin for the other, although I find it difficult to rule out other (near-) square-tailed species from this photo

Thank you!
I'll be here for a few more days. I'll try to get a better shot of the swallows if they are still here

Or listen for Sand Martin calls to confirm the ID (called 'Bank Swallow' in the Americas):

It doesn't look like any of the regular swallow species, so better pictures would be good.
No Sand Martin anyway.

I am with the Fern in thinking Progne martin for the second one.

I went back to Bubali sanctuary several times after last time, no sign of the swallows/martins anymore. Saw some other birds there.
5,6 - Same individual, doesn't look like an yellow warbler to me.
7 - Northern scrub flycatcher?

 

[THE_FERN]

Yes Northern scrub Flycatcher and yellow warbler

Update: I received an email from the local reviewer saying that the Martin is most likely a female Carribbean martin.
