Streamlined black crow with a slightly curved red beak and red legs. Long deep fingered wingtips, short square tail. Young is black but with an orange-yellow beak. Flies and soars elegantly between mountain and valley often with an acrobatic display. They breed at higher altitudes to 2000m. Living in loose colonies, the birds not forming couples stay with the colony and will together find a common resting place. ⇔ l. 38-40 cm LA: ≈ Very similar to the PYRRHOCORAX GRACULUS (Alpine chough) which has a yellow beak, longer tail and shorter "fingers' at the wing tips.
