It is definitely a Barn Swallow albeit a fledgling (young). Actually, the Maryland Ornithological Society just released the "Second Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Maryland and the District of Columbia", and they used this image as the display photo for the Barn Swallow.

Are you sure that this is a Barn Swallow? We are doing a bird study, and we saw a bird that look incredibly similar to this one; however, it did not sound like a Sparrow at all. When we comppared this photo to others such as those on the following links, it did not resemble a Barn Swallow at all. What do you think?http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/barn_swallow/id
