The little crow is an Australian species of crow, very similar to the Torresian crow in having white bases to the neck and head feathers but slightly smaller and with a slightly smaller bill. It has the same white iris that distinguish the Australian species from all other Corvus except a few island species to the north of Australia. The western jackdaw shares that trait; but while formerly considered members of Corvus, the jackdaws are now commonly put into their own genus Coloeus. Like the Australian raven, the little crow has a blue ring around the pupil.
