This small swallow flies over open country near rivers and other water. Its pale breast band and shallowly forked tail help identify it.
The upperparts are pale brownish grey, the underside is whitish, and a light brown band crosses the breast. The tail is only shallowly forked.
It flies in groups over open ground near water. Insects caught in flight are considered a likely food, and colonies nest in burrows in sandy banks.
