Hansen who noted: "Small to medium size swallow. Off-white underparts, with a dull dark brown breast band and dark underwing coverts (not black)". The left middle photo is courtesy of Valéry Schollaert (Lukuba, 10-10); the right middle (Kibale NP, Uganda, 1-10), is courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst; the lower (Lake Baringo-Kenya, 11-20), courtesy Per Holmen. |
