Ravens have a hump or curve to their beak, like this bird, so probably a raven.

Thanks, folks!

After many a dodge and parry, ornithologist says it is a Chough (a cousin of ravens and crows)... but non-ornithologists don't what choughs are!   I'm going to go with listing it as Raven - Crow - Chough... that should catch plenty of search hits!

Thanks, ebayers!
