This is a Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix)! They are a wide-ranging species of crow that has a unique gray "suit"!

They are an extremely common species of crow, their range including both Ukraine and Palestine.

Here, is a photo of a hooded crow with the Gaza Strip just behind it. This was taken by David Chernack in 2020.

The crows from Psychonauts are a joy

ooooh my god they are so funny looking. I will admit that I have a weakness to lower poly models so I like the first game's one a lot more. Obviously I can't identify these guys as it's not in a real world location, but they're probably based off of the American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos). Thank you for your submission!

Pied crows (花斑乌鸦) playing on exercise equipment at a park in China

English added by me :)

[corvus-orru]

Not pied crows (Corvus albus), which are native to Africa. These are collared crows (Corvus torquatus) which are native to China and Vietnam. They are a more rare species of corvid and share territory with 8 other corvid species that take up the same/similar niches, so it's awesome to see them enjoying themselves in the wild.

Crow from the game Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018)

Once again, this crow is listed as the American crow (C. brachyrhynchos)! I really love their model they look kinda chunky

Raven from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (2002) Bloodmoon expansion (2003)

This raven turns into a woman!

Crow from the game Red Dead Redemption (2010)

This crow is listed as the American crow (C. brachyrhynchos) I think these crows were right to eat all the corn from the grain silo <3

please feel so free to request/submit crows from different games!! my own scope of games i play is pretty limited :) thank you

Crow from the game Portal 2 (2011)

Since this game takes place in Michigan, the species is likely the American crow (C. brachyrhynchos). The Fish crow (C. ossifragus) has been spotted a few times in Michigan but they are very rare and almost impossible to distinguish from C. brachyrhynchos.

The crow from Portal 2 is really shaped I think :D

They've been added to the queue, thank you!!

Crow from the game The Elder Scrolls Online (2014)

These crows come in both normal and daedric varieties! I imagine the Elder Scrolls universe comes with it's own distinct species of crows which makes me wish the devs would release a full taxonomy....

Raven from the game Fallout: New Vegas (2010)

FNV takes place in Nevada, meaning they are the Common raven (C. corax). I think they're really funny looking :)

Crow from the game Fallout 4 (2015)

These crows don't have a species, because they are apparently robots! Which is stupid. Their model is nice and detailed, though. If I were forced at gunpoint I would say they're based on the American crow (C. brachyrhynchos) or Common raven (C. corax)

Crow from the game Half Life 2 (2004)

I've seen some claim that the developers got the species wrong for this game, that they used an American crow (C. brachyrhynchos) instead of the native Hooded crow (C. cornix). However, I think that the Carrion crow (C. corone), which is visually similar to the crow in-game, could have migrated from western Europe or Russia to Bulgaria due to the drastic change in climate and sea level.
