Gyps indicus
The Indian Vulture (Gyps indicus) is an Old World vulture and is closely related to the Griffon Vulture, G. fulvus. It breeds mainly on hilly crags in central and peninsular India. The birds in the northern part of its range once considered a subspecies are now considered a separate species, the Slender-billed Vulture Gyps tenuirostris. These were lumped together under the name Long-billed Vulture.

Thanks a lot for ID help Malcolm,,
For that area Long-billed Vulture (Gyps indicus) is most likely, although Eurasian Griffon (Gyps fulvus) looks very similar from the top and is also within range. I think the others that are within range would be much darker on top.
Vulture? Not sure which one yet, just checking.
