Brown-necked Raven vs Collared Crow

Brown-necked Raven

Corvus ruficollis

Large574 gDesert

Voice: The voice is very similar to the common raven's consisting mainly of croaks, though higher in pitch; and a harsh "karr-karr-karr". In flight, it will utter a "kuerk-kuerk" call. Like all corvids, the Brown-necked raven is capable of vocal mimicry, however this behavior is mostly recorded in captivity and, although rarely, in the wild.

Collared Crow

Corvus torquatus

Large471 gUrban

It is about 52–55 cm in length—the same size or slightly larger than the carrion crow (C. corone), with proportionately slightly longer wings, tail, and bill. A sleek and handsome bird, it has glossy black plumage except for the back of the neck, upper back (mantle), and a broad band around the lower breast that is white. The bill, legs, and feet are black. It sometimes flies with its feet hanging down below the body in a characteristically "lazy" way. The voice is a loud kaaar repeated several times with other slight variations on it to suit the occasion.
