Espanola, Ontario, Canada - I think this is a Am. Crow, but could it be an Am. Raven? (1 Viewer)

I know Raven's have a V-shaped tail, but the angle is off. I think it is a crow? May 12, 21. Mixed forest.

Me three. Can't see the bill terribly well, but it looks thinner than a raven's. There's something about the grey tones in the wings and especially the head (sort of the opposite of a Hooded Crow pattern) that you see in crows a lot more often than in ravens. Finally, look at the neck and breast: very smooth. Ravens tend to be shaggy there.
