Maxi Gap a juvenile in 2008?


Is MaxiGap the same crow I called Maxilla?
Or is the photo and maxilla a different bird? Whichever you can see the tongue is pink so this crow already had a deformed beak as a juvenile. if it is maxi gap this was before the injury or deformity of the ankle/toes/leg

01/22/2011 After looking at old photos I realized this crow looks more like Dom Max than Maxi Gap. There were several crows with elongated beaks in 2007-2008 and it was easy to get them confused unless they were feeding near each other. Maxi Gap is the only crow with such a deformed beak now, but recently I saw a young crow with a slightly elongated beak with a small gap.
