Barn owls belong to the family Tytonidae and can be found in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia (basically anywhere, except Antarctica). It has a heart-shaped face, white with brownish wings and head.

The tawny owl, however, belongs to the family Strigidae and is restricted to Europe and Asia. The tawny owl is also mostly brown with some white. I also believe it is smaller than the Barn Owl in comparison.

Hope that helped! :D
