Should in my eyes be Eupetomena macroura, although picture #1 looks confusing with the colors. But I can see at the top of the tail some reddish/purple colors which is also seen in some of the links. Please, take a careful look of the links I added and verify yourself. I did not find another one with such a swallow-like tail.
