Hey Justin, Nice shots. Swallows are alway difficult to photograph. This appear to be Cave Swallows of the Mexican race. The pale orange on the rump and forehad distinguish it from the West Indian race of Cave Swallow, which breed in South Florida in summer and have much brighter orange. Cliff Swallows would have a veyr pale peach rump and a darker head and throat, with white instead of orange or peach on the forehead, although this field mark is tricky since it's no always noticeable on juveniles and is also present on other swallows such as Barn.
