African White-backed Vulture, Gyps africanus, is an Old World vulture in the family Accipitridae. It is widespread throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The adult African White-backed Vulture is mostly black about the head and neck, with a sparse covering of yellowish down, and a sparse white ruff. It is brown over the shoulders and to the joint of the wing. Primary flight feathers are black, secondaries dark brown. The tail is also black. Most of the underparts are fulvous, except for white under-wings and a brown crop patch. The back and rump are white.
