Coordinator notes: I first marked this as a Plain Longtail (Urbanus simplicius) and then changed to Brown Longtail (Urbanus procne) because the medium band is sort of strong and the Glassberg book says this band is strong on the Brown and faint on the Plain Longtail. An online source I read says the two are identical, with the small difference in their sexual organs on the underneath side, which I've never been able to photograph. According to that, this could be either one, Plain or Brown Longtail. :-)
