ID tip
The long-billed crow is a large crow growing from 45 to 53 cm (18 to 21 in) in length including its relatively short tail. The large bill tapers from a broad base and is black, as are the legs and feet. In adults, the plumage is glossy and entirely black; juveniles have dull black plumage. The iris is dark grey on juveniles, turning to pale blue to white in adults. The call of this crow has been likened to the yapping of a puppy "cruk ... cruk ... cruk". The long-billed crow can be differentiated from other crows by its large size and glossy plumage, its long beak and its white iris.
