Any North Americans able to ID a really crappy photo for me?

I recently spent some time in Wisconsin, and saw these Raptors. They were very high, and making good use of the thermals. I only had a 200mm lens with me, so the photos are completely rubbish.

They were reasonably large, so I think I have eliminated the sharp shinned hawk and the Cooper's hawk. I included the silhouette photo, as it shows the tail quite clearly, which makes me think it isn't the Red tailed hawk, as they seem to have a rounded tail in flight. I couldn't see colouration very clearly at all.

I'm leaning towards a Turkey vulture, but I'm not sure if that's what it's likely to be. It seems to have a reddish head in the first photo, which fits with the Turkey vulture. The black dot in the second photo is a second bird. Any ideas?

Definitely a turkey vulture. The bald, red head & lighter colored wing tips are a dead giveaway.

Thanks very much for that Smallpotatoes. Appreciate it. It wasn't a good enough image to try using the Merlin app with.

You're very welcome! I see them a lot where I live and my longest lens is only 300mm, so I've had a lot of pictures that look just like yours!

If I was at home (Australia) I have a number of books to identify raptors by silhouette, but I didn't have that luxury while I was visiting the US. So I was really just guessing what it might have been. We saw quite a lot of them around, but they were always very high, and usually when I didn't have a camera with me.
