Greater Yellow-headed Vulture

Imataca Forest Reserve

The flight action and silhouette of Greater is completely different from that of Turkey and Lesser Yellow-headed (which it rarely overlaps). Notice the broad wings and darker inner primaries (compared to secondaries, bad light here). These birds are very steady flyers, and carry little dihedral.
