Hope you still can identify it with some certainty.   A swallow species of some sort?     KK Hui ARPS www.geocities.com/kkhui_001 « Last Edit: Oct 14th, 2004, 1:47pm by KK Hui » Logged Yat-tung YU BBS Moderator BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 133 Re: Swallow id ??? « Reply #1 on: Oct 14th, 2004, 2:08pm » Quote Modify Dear K.K.   If you only look to those species of swallow, you would not find the answer! It is not a swallow, but it is a kind of wader!   Pale rufous underwing coverts and black line on face down from the eye are distinctive field marks.   Check the first few pages of the section of waders in the bird book. Also, check the colour plate of waders in flight.   Well capture!   Tung Logged KK Hui BBS Member BBS God Bird Photography - at its best ...     Posts: 940 Re: Swallow id ??? « Reply #2 on: Oct 14th, 2004, 3:31pm » Quote Modify Thanks for the hint, Tung!
