Assuming some type of swallow?

Post by MtnAg08 »

Not the best pictures as lighting was horrible. Saw these today at Piney Lake outside of Vail, CO. I assume it's a swallow but can't figure out which one. I tried brightening and lightening exposure as much as I could to bring out some color. Any help would be appreciated!
