The son of a friend took the following photo recently at Lake Tuggeranong.

What has got me going are the buff flanks extending down to the bars in the undertail coverts. The only reference that I have which illustrates a Swallow with barred undertail coverts is in Michael Morecombe’s Field Guide to the Birds of Australia, 2000 – Pacific Swallow (Hirundo tahitica).

If I am right in my identification it might be a first for the ACT. What do others think?
