Individual 2.
Observation details
Possibly Black Swift? The molting individual seems stubby-headed, with a paler forehead; the last individual with the deeper tail fork (male, presumably) also has a paler forehead. The other just seems uniformly dusky black. Impression of size was medium-sized; clearly larger, with a more relaxed flight style than the Vaux's Swifts also present. The Chestnut-headed Swift I didn't even recognize in the field, only later in photos. Strongly overcast weather and poor lighting conditions.
