Singapore: Martin?

[laujs]

Hi All,

I have no knowledge on the pale and sand martins' complexes. Anyone with experience on these species, could you help me to identify the bird in my photos (if possible?).

Thanks.

Common Sand Martin.

Pale Sand Martin would have a diffuse and broken breastband and would (probably) look paler overall.

Brown-throated (Plain) Martin would have a brown throat.

Can't think of any other possibilities without checking the books.

Sorry for the rather late reply.
