Looks like a turkey vulture. Although the head doesn't look quite right but it may be the shadows. Good shot.

Thanks. I find it odd to see such birds in a city area.

They're becoming ubiquitous up here too. Never used to see any, now they're rather common.

We have always had a lot of these scavengers in our area. They are so graceful flying over head, just floating where ever the wind carries them!
