Bird ID- Help Please

Is this a Turkey Vulture? A lifetime of doing the dishes is at stake!
Bird flew over at about 70 ft above my head. Bright sun, about 83 F, although it is about 4:30 PM when this image was taken. Sun is in the bird's face. My beloved D500 with my 500 PF attached. 1/2500, f 6.3, ISO 450.
My computer was down for a few days. Then the local internet service provider seems to be throttling the bandwidth. I get about 1.2 down and .2 up on a good test. Right now I am getting 1.88 down and .07 up! Plus they are not answering their phones- the web site sign in not working and has not worked since last October (2019).
Please view in Download. It takes over 5 minutes to load medium sized jpegs.

Definitely a turkey vulture. I have almost identical photos if needed to win the bet. Lol

I’m sure their mothers thought them cute! Of course they have a grace in the air. Bad time of day in a clear blue sky for decent photography.

Or some kind of wren?

That group should be called a murder.
