Mr Gharial 14 Jun 2022 Looking at the feather pattern (mainly the white stripe down the middle of every feather), I think it's a Eurasian griffon vulture. (White-backed vultures are not held in the aviary, only in the show)

KevinB 14 Jun 2022 @Mr Gharial Makes sense, but didn't think about that. Given the smaller size and darker color it would have to be juvenile griffon then?

lintworm 14 Jun 2022 @KevinB, the dark bill, iris and collar are indeed give-aways this is a juvenile.
