Which Barn Swallow subspecies have been confirmed in Australia? (1 Viewer)

[MJB]

On visits to NT, I've seen vagrant (?) Barn Swallow at the Broome South Wastewater Treatment Plant, as did several Broome Bird Obs staff & guests, but have any subspecies been confirmed? Amongst the candidates might be erythrogaster, tytleri and gutturalis...

The subspecies at Broome is gutturalis, and they are regular migrants in small numbers to the north. Broome is in WA by the way, not the NT.

Thanks for the info and especially the correction! I should have said NT & WA, because it was on a trip where I was first in NT and saw what I thought was a distant Barn Swallow from the west side of Charles Darwin Park. I then I went on to WA, where several Barn Swallows were at the Broome water treatment plant. However, while shortening my draft post, I decided just to concentrate on the Broome aspect and failed to notice I'd left NT in it!

tytleri has also been reported at least though I don't know off the top of my head whether any claims are well-documented
