A close-up of a king vulture head that is thrown backwards, so it is upside down to the viewer. It has a red and black head with orange, red, and black markings on the beak, and the eyes are yellowish with red lines because the nictitating membranes are visible. The white and black feathers of its body can be seen and the background is blurred and green.
