Hirundo albigularis
They are slim fast flying birds with glossy blue back a white belly and reddish around the face.
All over South Africa in our summer, and migrate back to the northern hemisphere in our winter. They eat insects on the wing.

This is a white-throated swallow...barn swallows have a rusty red chin and throat
What a beautiful bird. I love the glossy blue coloration.
