Hirundo rustica
It has a dark blue back and a brown forehead and throat. The belly is cream colored, and the tail is really long and forked.
They are found on all continents except Antarctica in open country with little vegetation. This guy was hanging out on a power line at the edge of Palo Duro Canyon. I was on the wrong side of light, but these are my only photos of a barn swallow.

I saw one of these yesterday but it would never sit where I could capture it!
