North American vulture (7)

I believe the answer is:

buzzard

(Other definitions for buzzard that I've seen before include "Large hawk-like bird of prey" , "Kind of big hawk or grasping person" , "American vulture or European hawk" , "Raptor" , "Predatory hawk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
