Barn Swallow with rufous underpart

Such birds are gutteralis/tytleri intergrades (sometimes in the past treated as a distinct subspecies 'saturata') and as such are almost certainly from ne China/Kamchatka/Lower Amur.  Such birds have been claimed as tytleri in the past but that subspecies has slightly darker and uniform underparts (not paler on flanks like these bird(s))
