Hi!
I live in Hokkaido,
so the only 2 we basically have are:
the Large-billed and the Carrion, and rarely a Rook.
Given the shape of the forehead
(between a carrion or a Large-billed Crow),
it would have to be a Carrion, as it is more rounded.
The Large-billed Crow has a large forehead
and a tremendously larger beak.
So I personally in my humble opinion,
I would look more for a Carrion Crow or a Rook for where you saw it.
I have only been birding for a few years now, so that is me.
Wait a minute...
Are you the one who made the Gull flowchart
and are connected to CCSF?
thumbs up for that.
God Bless,
Jeff
