Barn Swallow at Raub JPJ Roof Top

I pass by the JPJ /RTD (Road Transport Department) building every day on the way to work.
Usually a large flock of Tree Sparrow preens and drying their feather on the roof up there.
Yesterday I brought my camera to work and planned to photograph them. It rained all day, so I photographed this from the car . Viewed the image later at home that I realized this was not Tree Sparrow but migrant Barn Swallow.

Photographed this later at noon. Notice the raindrops at the electric cable down there.
