Bird ID Needed Scotland, Raven or something larger. (1 Viewer)

I was thinking this might be a raven but it looks larger, pictures were distant and poor quality, any help appreciated.

Are they all the same bird? The first one with the diamond tail is certainly a raven (49), but the others look different to me, perhaps a hawk. This might just be lighting effects though

(Edit: I don't read that title properly. If there is a second bird it'd be a buzzard)

I'm sure there was only one bird and pictures were almost into the light and as you say most likely a raven.

Judging the size of a lone bird is notoriously unreliable.
1. I don't see any option other than a corvid. I don't feel this can safely be said certainly to have a wedge-shaped tail, even though the photo is fairly consistent with that, and the wing-shape (relatively narrow and long wings with outer wing looking narrower) is also strongly suggestive of raven.
2-3. Couldn't make any ID from these, and (assuming they're the same bird) I don't think they add to pic 1.
I'd be pretty happy it's a raven - certainly not 'something larger'.

I noticed these are labeled as resize. It would be better to make a crop of them to show the bird with more pixels.
