Carrion Vulture

Another name for the Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus) in Leviticus 11:18 and Deuteronomy 14:17. The King James Version calls it the gier eagle. The Berean Standard Bible translates it as “osprey” in these verses, likely meaning the Egyptian vulture, not the modern fish-eating osprey.
