Killing two birds with one stone: kitty and birdie ping.
I didn't know what sort of corvid that was so I went on-line and looked it up. It appears it is an Old World carrion crow (also called hooded crow). This from the link:
The European Carrion Crow, Corvus corone, flies with regular wing beats in a dead straight line when going somewhere in particular, hence the common statement 'such and such a place is x miles distant as the crow flies' meaning in a straight line. There are 6 subspecies of the Carrion Crow, several of which are distinctly coloured in white or grey and are called Hooded Crows. Hooded Crows have a more northerly and easterly distribution than the Carrion Crow.
The pictures they showed looked exactly like this crow too. So that's my best guess!
Thanks for the pings!
