American Crow (hesperis, syn. caurinus or occidentalis)

Corvus brachyrhynchos hesperis {caurinus or occidentalis} (= Corvus brachyrhynchos caurinus) Baird, SF 1858

The American crow is a large passerine bird species of the family Corvidae. It is a common bird found throughout much of North America. American crows are the New World counterpart to the carrion crow and the hooded crow. Although the American crow and the hooded crow are very similar in size, structure and behavior, their calls and visual appearance are different. The American crow, nevertheless, occupies the same ecological niche that the hooded crow and carrion crow do in Eurasia. Source: Wikipedia
