Coragyps atratus
This black vulture was spotted dining on a skeleton beside the road. The other vultures at the feast withdrew as my car approached, and this one is ready to take off, as well.
Black vultures are the cleanup crew in Belize, making short work of anything that escapes immediate consumption and has a chance to "mature" into a ripe condition.
