I think these are all Swifts but most flocks also have Pallid Swifts mixed in with them. The Pallids are slightly smaller on average although they do overlap. Pallids have a white throat and chin while the Swift just has a white chin. The top of the Pallids wings are a paler brown but this can only be seen in good light if they fly close to the ground.
