The house crow, also called the Indian, grey-necked, Ceylon or Colombo crow, is a common crow of Asian origin that has reached many parts of the world by ship. It is about 40 cm long, between a jackdaw and a carrion crow in size but slimmer. The forehead, crown, throat and upper breast are glossy black, the neck and breast lighter grey-brown, and the wings, tail and legs black (Wikipedia, general species account).
