A Himalayan Griffon Vulture in Hanoi Zoo. This massive bird is around 110 centimeters tall and has a mostly brownish body and wing-coverts, with sandy-off-white spots, a white downy head and neck, and a thick pale to yellowish bill.

However, these birds get lighter as they age and older species may be mostly sandy-off-white in colour. Their legs and feet are pinkish grey.
