Thank you Sam Gordon (SamGordon) for identifying and Karen Weaving for confirming the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere
As its name suggests, smaller than the Australian Raven.
We thought we only had the Australian Raven, until Sam Gordon changed the id, on iNat, of one of ours (S4 here) to Little Raven saying "Bill shape and hackles are better for Little Raven".
The weird colours & focus are due to it being through the kitchen window with flyscreen; on a dust storm day.

This species is classed as

LC (Least Concern)

in the Murray Mallee, SA, by DENR (Regional Species Status Assessments, July 2010)
