The eastern carrion crow (Corvus corone orientalis, originally a separate species C.orientalis) is a member of the crow family and a subspecies of the carrion crow. Differences from the nominate subspecies include a larger size, at a length about {{convert|500|mm|in}}, and more graduated outer tail feathers. The eastern carrion crow is found in Siberia from the Yenisei to Japan, south to Central Asia, Afghanistan, Eastern Iran, Kashmir, Tibet and northern China. They generally lay three to five eggs in trees or buildings. The eggs show no difference from the nominate subspecies.{{cite web |url=http://avis.indianbiodiversity.org/fauna-of-british-india-2nd-ed-vol-i-1922/eastern-carrion-crow-corvus-corone-orientalis.html |title=Eastern Carrion Crow |access-date=2012-07-06 |work=Avian Information System - Indian Biodiversity Information System |publisher=Foundation for Ecological Security |year=2010 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130415022759/http://avis.indianbiodiversity.org/fauna-of-british-india-2nd-ed-vol-i-1922/eastern-carrion-crow-corvus-corone-orientalis.html |archive-date=2013-04-15 |url-status=dead }}
