Bank Swallows are almost all brown. Barn Swallows can give that iridescent look as well. http://joenoordman.smugmug.com/

We have those here at the canyon most of the summer and fall. They fly over water when thirsty or pick bugs up above the water. I can't see the green in this shot so not sure of my I.D. Get some more closer! Steve
