Nice in flight photo! Consider adding this to the Birds of Peru Mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12517768
mmmm i think you are right but comparing both i still have some doubts
Perfect! I just voted up your species ID! :)
Turkey Vulture was my initial thought as well. Look at this photo for comparison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cathartes_aura_-Florida_-USA_-flying-8-4c.jpg I'll go ahead and suggest it as an ID for you.
Jason, I agree. I've voted your comment up.
I don't have good confidence in the previously provided ID. The head morphology and wing coloration does not seem to match.
