THE GOLDEN SCAVENGER

            Gyps fulvus.

It can reach 10 kg in weight, with a wingspan that exceeds 2.5 m (and can reach 260 cm). The feathers are ocher or cinnamon in color on most of the body (dorsum, ventral area and anterior half of the wings), this being the reason for its nickname "fawn". These tawny feathers turn dark brown or black on the rectrices of the tail and end of the remiges. The base of the neck is surrounded by white filofeathers like a ruff.

Puede llegar a los 10 kg de peso, con una envergadura que supera los 2,5 m (pudiendo alcanzar los 260 cm). Las plumas son de color ocre o canela en la mayor parte del cuerpo (dorso, zona ventral y mitad anterior de las alas), siendo este el motivo de su apelativo "leonado". Estas plumas leonadas se tornan marrón oscuro o negro en las rectrices de la cola y extremo de las rémiges. La base del cuello está rodeada por filoplumas blancas a modo de gorguera.
