[Sj scans - Critteria 3] Egyptian Vulture in flight, Neophron percnopterus


Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus), called Scavenger Vulture in South Asia, is a small Old World vulture, found from southwestern Europe and northern Africa to southern Asia. It is the only living member of the genus Neophron. It is colloquially known as "Pharaoh’s Chicken" because especially in fresh plumage, it looks somewhat like a scruffy white chicken.
