These photos are taken on 5th Mar, 2013 in Tai Wai. Originally, I thought that it is Large-billed Crow. But the colour of the beak is yellow and there are white marks on the wing, so I am not sure what it is. I know that the quality of the picture is poor, see whether anyone can help to ID them. Thanks in advance.

Your first impression is right. I would say the presence of "Yellow beak" and "White marks" is due to reflection of sunlight.

Note that in the first photo, where the bird is not in such direct sunlight, the beak and wings are clearly black, typical of a Large-billed Crow
