your best guess! [Explore] - a photo on Flickriver

            This beauty was captured in our backyard when we lived in Graham, Washington.  He stuck around for a few minutes, so I was able to grab a few pics.  I really have no idea what kind of bird he is...I'm supposing a variety of Swallow or Chickadee.  If any of you bird enthusiasts know, please feel free to leave your comments.  I appreciate it.  Hope you enjoy!

Update: I have been told by 2-3 people that they thought this particular bird is a Violet-Green Swallow!!  From what little research I've done, I think they are correct!  Again, I hope you enjoy!  He is such a beautiful bird!
