Just wondering, why isn't 3 a Tree? It has a much darker back than the rest and has the pale auriculars. Head shape is different as well.

Are the last two shots of the same bird? I feel like I'm seeing some buffy flanks on the bird in the fifth photo, but clean white flanks on the bird in the sixth photo. I do think I'm seeing the cinnamon wingbars that are diagnostic for young NRWS in the sixth shot. Don't know for sure on 5.

Actually, the O.P. submitted pics of juvie Tree Swallows in part one of this series, so you are most likely correct, Liam. Originally, I saw the first few pics and glossed over the later ones.

They are different birds..
