White-tailed Swallow
Hirundo megaensis Benson, 1942
Hirundinidae — Swallows, Martins
White-tailed Swallow, Hirundo megaensis, breeds in montane south-central Ethiopia. It is a swallow in the family Hirundinidae and was described by Benson in 1942. The bird is endemic to Oromia, Ethiopia, and has a very restricted range for a swallow. Its breeding appears to depend on a cooler local climate around that small area. It is also known as Benson’s Swallow.
