CLOSED: Swallow ID Needed

NE Medina Co., TX(Zone 8a)

Not the best photo, but I wonder if this could be a Barn Swallow? They have nests now at a carwash and under the eaves of one building near Lakehills, Texas. I think they are so cute!

First is a Barn Swallow, second is a Cave Swallow.

Oh....we have BOTH? That's great! I kind of thought a few I saw at the carwash looked a bit like an illustration of Cave Swallows in my book last year when I saw them, but I wasn't at all sure because they were mostly sitting in nests and couldn't see them well enough. Then this year when I saw the ones like the first pic I'm thinking...no, maybe they're not Cave Swallows.
