What is this?

Heidi
A friend took this picture on Sunday of a large bird sitting in a tree near her home in Galway.
We agree it looks like a Vulture but what about all that white? Could it be partially leucistic (sp?) Any other ideas? Thanks Heidi Klinowski

That doesn’t look like any North American vulture species. Are you sure your friend took this in Galway?

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like an escaped Ruppells.

Yes definitely Galway NY. She is a long time birder and I know this isn’t a prank photo. That’s why I asked for help. I will send you a screenshot of her original Facebook post but it’s a cellphone pic so details aren’t great. Thankyou for all the opinions. Heidi
