Raven or Carrion Crow? (1 Viewer)

Not sure, was out birding today in west yorkshire and in the field it looked huge which is why I suspected raven, but i've never seen one before (that ive noticed) for comparison with carrion.

I think it might be carrion comparing with other online pics?

The bill doesnt appear to be heavy enough for raven, I would go for carrion crow personally. Can be difficult to judge size when seen individually.
 
My thinking too, bill doesnt look quite big enough for me when comparing with images of raven. Oh well!
