Chestnut-collared Swallow (Petrochelidon rufocollaris)
About the Chestnut-collared Swallow
The chestnut-collared swallow (Petrochelidon rufocollaris) is a species of bird in the family Hirundinidae, the swallows and martins. It is found in Ecuador and Peru. The chestnut-collared swallow was originally described as Hirundo rufocollaris in Titian Peale's catalog of birds collected during the United States Exploring Expedition. It was later reclassified in its current genus Petrochelidon that had been erected in 1851. Some authors have treated it as a subspecies of the cave swallow (P. fulva) and the two form a superspecies. The chestnut-collared swallow has two subspecies, the nominate P. r. rufocollaris (Peale, 1849) and P. r. aequatorialis (Chapman, 1924).
