Black-collared Swallow (Pygochelidon melanoleuca)
About the Black-collared Swallow
The black-collared swallow (Pygochelidon melanoleuca) is a species of bird in the family Hirundinidae, the swallows and martins. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, and possibly Paraguay. The black-collared swallow was originally described as Hirundo melanoleuca. It was later moved to genus Atticora but following a study published in 2005 it was moved to the resurrected genus Pygochelidon that had been erected in 1865. The black-collared swallow shares genus Pygochelidon with the blue-and-white swallow (P. cyanoleuca). It is monotypic.
