A few weeks back I posted what I thought was a lappet-faced vulture. It was actually a white-headed vulture, as one of my subscribers pointed out. Here’s another one (I think… pretty sure, right?). Regardless of species, this guy would like you to kindly worship him. Photographed on the Masai Mara of Kenya. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 400, f/8 at 1/400th of a second.
Seems II’m wrong again. Thanks to another subscriber for the correction. These vultures really have me guessing. I originally had this guy as a lappet-faced vulture and apparently I should have stuck with that original guess.

Spectacular pose! Spectacular cape & crown!
Well the anhingas pose with their wings spread out like that to let them dry, but not so arrogantly as this guy! He just reeks of attitude!
Wow, that’s some picture!

Man do you have egg on your lappet face, Sean
He is one very regal garbage collector! (Or carrion collector.) A great shot of an imposing bird.
Great posture. Whatever the psecies – pretty scawy.
