Quiz

For extra credit, identify the movie where the guy said, "Oh, and Stockel, let's see some real flying." In case you can't get that one, at least help me with this bird. I was sure it was a turkey vulture from its magnificent, playful, flying style, but there was no red, featherless head. When the sun catches the underwing at the right angle, you can get deceptive iridescence, but still, white underwings?

Perhaps it is juvenile turkey vulture. They don't have the red head.

I agree with Anonymous, a Black Vulture
Thanks for your help guys. I will continue to obsess over this and strive for more definitive photos.
