This is near the roofline of our house in California, we are about 90 minutes north of Los Angeles. We are told it’s swallows, black Phoebe’s nest and mud wasps. We would like help to identify.

This looks like Barn Swallows to me.
Check out the two links of Barn and Cliff Swallows:

I’m pretty sure it’s a Barn Swallows nest.
Yeah, I’m certain that’s a Barn Swallow’s nest as well. My neighbor is a farmer with a barn, and those swallows love nesting up there! Sometimes there can be a dozen nests plastered onto one side of the barn!
