Thanks to Francis Grasso, I think my neighbor bird has been identified. He told me the name was orange-bellied barn swallow, and this indeed seems to be it!!
Some orange- bellied birds, fork-tailed and dark shiny-winged, have made their home on or near the rooftop of our house. Swiftly, smoothly wheeling and careening, bird-whooping to each other; freely, happily they glide. . . comrades of the sky.
