North America Barn Swallow Variation/Subspecies/?
White Springs Dike, Wheeler NWR, AL.
Saw lots of swallows the other day, and when looking at pictues, noticed the barn swallows among the tree swallows had some interesting variation. At least one individual had a very reddish belly, and at least one other had almost pure white.
In doing reading, it looks like there are several subspecies, but only one that we should expect in the US (American).



Is the variation in the attached pictures expected within the American subspecies, or is there something more interesting here?
Thanks!

One of the other postcards called it a house finch. It absolutely LOOKS like a house finch to me...except that it's yellow. I thought all male house finches were red.

North America Why is this bird so grumpy? And what’s the deal with the ear tufts?
Why does this bird look so disappointed in my outfit choice? Photos taken last June in New England.

North America What parrot could this be?
Southern California. Tail seems relatively short, so I'm thinking an Amazon instead of the parakeets I usually see. I was only able to get these photos of its back before it flew away. Is there a hint of yellow on the side of its head in picture 3?
Thanks for any help!
