Turkey Vulture

This nondescript and rather unattractive species is surprisingly large, with a body length of approximately 28 inches, while the wingspan can be almost 6 feet. It can weigh up to 4 pounds.
The dorsal (back) is solid black, as is the breast and long tail. The upper wings are black, while the under wings are black with silver flight feathers, giving it a two-tone combination. The head is distinctively naked, and the skin on the head is bright red. This red head, along with the black body feathers, is where the namesake originated from, as these colors are rather turkey-like in appearance.
