Caracara lutosa

The Guadalupe Caracara is a medium-sized raptor endemic to Guadalupe Island off the west coast of Mexico. It has a distinctive appearance with a black body, white head, and red facial skin. This bird of prey is known for its scavenging behavior and is often found feeding on carrion. It also preys on small vertebrates and invertebrates. The Guadalupe Caracara is a territorial species, often seen in pairs or small groups. Due to its limited range and small population size, it is vulnerable to habitat loss and introduced predators.
