About

The forest swallow is a little-known species of swallow in the family Hirundinidae, found in Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and Nigeria.

Fun Fact

The species was previously placed in the genus Petrochelidon, within the 'mud-nester' clade of swallows, yet its plumage, morphology, and nesting behavior did not align well with those of other major swallow lineages.
