King Vulture Perched on a Weathered Branch with Folded Wings

A profile close-up photograph captures a king vulture perched upright on the broken end of a weathered, diagonal tree branch. The large bird features a stark white mantle and back that contrast with its folded black flight feathers and tail. Facing to the left, its bare, colorful head displays a bright orange caruncle and deep red skin folds around its neck and crown. The bird stands out sharply against a dark, layered background of large, out-of-focus green forest leaves and jungle undergrowth.
