What a beautiful image, it looks like a Swallow species to me.

Nice picture of it whatever it might be.

Nice shot, I think it's a white-throated swallow.

Lovely shot and a smashing little bird, I would agree most probably a White Throated Swallow. See the link below;

Very well taken image.. Perfectly exposed...!! Im not a "Birder" so for that, I just think ive seen a million of these shots all exactly the same.. So im guessing the species of bird is the point of interest. Personally I'd crop an inch from the top. But it isnt my image... Well done..
