Corvid Issues

These were pictured around Bourke. They all have brownish eyes so Im guessing they are young birds. Just not sure which corvid. Also those beaks seem massive.

Thanks in advance

I've got no idea, Corvids are very difficult to identify from photos. Yes, the dark eye indicates young birds.

Agree with Steve as to difficulty. I hardly ever manage to see the colour at the base of the neck feathers to decide if it is grey or white and they all seem to be similar size birds. Location is a good indicator as to likelihood but still leaves you with Little Raven or Australian Raven as Little Crow can probably be ruled out on bill length.

Heavy-billed corvid at Bourke? Probably an Australian Raven.
