CommentI have just had a look at Dusky Woodswallow images and notice that there are only a few flight shots, none from below. Since these can show diagnostic characters I am posting several images. These birds were attracted by a swarm of insects and were using power cables as their hunting perches. This bird still has some down feathers clinging to the underside and some of the spotty look on the nape of the juveniles. It is transition from juvenile to immature.
