The striated swallow (Cecropis striolata) is a species of swallow found in open, often hilly areas, clearings and cultivation in South and South East Asia to northeastern India and Taiwan.The striated swallow was formerly sometimes considered to a subspecies of red-rumped.
The striated swallow feeds low over the ground or at cliff faces on flying insects. It has a slow buoyant flight compared to barn swallow. It will feed with other swallow species.
The Striated is slightly larger than Red-rumped by an inche. Above picture compares the size to the smaller pacific swallow
