Swellow's body resembles a {{wp|barn swallow}} or {{wp|welcome swallow}}, although its head seems to more closely resemble a {{wp|secretary bird}}. Swellow's {{shiny}} colors of green, red and white, combined with its two long tail feathers, also resemble a {{wp|Resplendent Quetzal}}, a breed of birds from Southern {{wp|Mexico}} and {{wp|Central America}} known for their beautiful colors—mostly green with red and white trims—and two long tail feathers. | Swellow's body resembles a {{wp|barn swallow}} or {{wp|welcome swallow}}, although its head seems to more closely resemble a {{wp|secretary bird}}.
