I’m saying crow, but it is hard to tell without a size reference. Neck feathers aren’t rugged enough, head is too slim, beak is too straight, and nasal feathers aren’t fluffy.
Noise is a big indicator too, crows caw and ravens have more of a croak. We have plenty of crows here, the first time I saw a raven in real life was in Wyoming. It shocked me how huge it was compared to the slim crows in Texas. Almost looked vulture-like, hunched over on the fence.
 
I use to live in North Texas. There were thousands of crows, year round.
I raised one that had fallen out of it's nest or kicked out? Named it Bourbon, and why not? They name bourbon after crows. :lau I'm pretty sure the pics are of crows. Here's a couple pics on how to tell the difference between ravens and crows. 1 is educational, the other funny.

Had a crow stomping around on the ground for most the days for a few weeks in the back field this spring. Saw it chasing off squirrels, hawks, turkeys, canadian geese.
It was rather amusing and fascinating.
