🐦‍⬛Carrion Crow

Corvus corone Linnaeus, 1758

La corneja negra (Corvus corone) es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Corvidae. Se la confunde a veces con el cuervo grande (Corvus corax), aunque éste es de mayor tamaño y de poblaciones menos numerosas. La corneja negra posee una cabeza ancha y aplanada, un cuerpo negro brillante y un plumaje muy denso. En el siglo XVIII, Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon la describió de la siguiente manera: Donde el término "corbin", en francés antiguo se usaba también para nombrar al cuervo grande (Corvus corax).​ Si bien puede hibridar con la corneja cenicienta (Corvus cornix) produciendo descendencia fértil, estudios​ realizados en 2003 han llevado a considerarlas como especies diferentes, debido a la notable diferencia de color en el plumaje así como a la escasa viabilidad genética de los híbridos.
