    Hi all, this was taken in Jackson Hole, WY a couple of days ago and I've been unable to ID. We're traveling and all my bird books are back home - go figure!

    Its hard to tell by this one image, but if you could post more especially one showing its back feathers or side views would help a lot. Right off the top it kinda looks like a Northern Rough-winged Swallow, perhaps a juvenile or fledgling.

    Pork, thanks for the response - unfortunately I only have the one photo of the bird. I had considered a Swallow or possibly a Swift, but couldn't narrow it down - I suspect you're right after checking on-line photos.
