Chilean Swallow

It is 11-13 centimeters in length. It is glossy blue-black above and white below with a white rump. It is similar to the White-rumped Swallow but lacks the white forehead of that species and has bluer upperparts and grey underwing-coverts.

The Chilean Swallow is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

just seen a Chilean Swallow at the back of Government House, I got there about an hour later and saw the bird which was a juvenle hawking for insects along a strip of pine trees. It never landed in the 30 minutes while I watched it so no chance of any pictures. More
