Appearance:

Huge bird of prey with almost white head, neck and ruff. Body buff and wing-coverts pale buff in marked contrast to dark flight-feathers (opposite of Black Vulture). Silhouette typical with small head and short tail. Wings with S-shaped trailing edge, and very long and widely separated primaries. Soars with wings raised in shallow V. Glides on bowed wings, with slightly folded and depressed primaries.

Sound:

Quite vocal for a vulture, but generally silent in flight. Various shrieking high notes, hissing, and harsh cackling sounds.
