Andean Swallow (Orochelidon andecola)
About the Andean Swallow
The Andean swallow (Orochelidon andecola) is a species of bird in the family Hirundinidae, the swallows and martins. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. The Andean swallow was originally described as Hirundo andecola. It was later assigned by different authors to genera Petrochelidon, Stelgidopteryx, and Haplochelidon. Following a study published in 2005 it was moved to the resurrected genus Orochelidon that had been erected in 1903. The Andean swallow shares genus Oroichelidon with the pale-footed swallow (O. flavipes) and brown-bellied swallow (O. murina). It has two subspecies, the nominate O. a. andecola (D'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) and O. a. oroyae (Chapman, 1924).
