White-rumped Swallow (Tachycineta leucorrhoa) [XC674326]

White-rumped Swallow (Tachycineta leucorrhoa) [XC599517]

Subspecies
No subspecies.

This species (and, by extension, Tumbes Swallow (Tachycineta stolzmanni)), along with Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), White-winged Swallow (Tachycineta albiventer), Mangrove Swallow (Tachycineta albilinea) and Chilean Swallow (Tachycineta meyeni), sometimes placed in separate genus Iridoprocne, but DNA studies indicate close relationship of these taxa with clade consisting of Violet-green Swallow (Tachycineta thalassina), Golden Swallow (Tachycineta euchrysea) and Bahama Swallow (Tachycineta cyaneoviridis), and support placement of all in a single genus. Forms a superspecies with Chilean Swallow (Tachycineta meyeni) and formerly considered conspecific owing to similarities in morphology and voice, but comparison of DNA sequences supports treatment as separate species.
