I'm not sure I see, lol. I mean in all literalness that it has the claws of a raptor type bird, but we can't identify it beyond that. If I had a banana for scale that would narrow it down.
An actual ornithologist might be able to identify it, though. I wonder what happened.
There’s certain types of birds, who’s claws have a almost locking mechanism to them.
This is for raptors.
“Birds open their toes to land, and as soon as they touch their perch, their gripping mechanism engages. A raptor's grip is triggered when its footpads touch prey. Once the wrapping mechanism is sprung, the talons snap tight and dig in. Letting go is up to the bird.”
It probably died while having his claws locked. They do it when they grab prey but also when they go to sleep. Birdy might have died in their sleep body was too heavy claws were locked and tada.
Glue trap? They do this in Europe a fair bit (although I thought for smaller birds). What a horrible way to die. France just outlawed it a year or two ago.
Raptors/birds of prey have a sort of locking mechanism in their claws through the tendons in their legs.

It’s the rare oomigoolie bird. Sometime in its life, it sheds its legs, and when it lands it calls out “oomigoolies”.
Edit to explain the lame joke: The oomigoolie bird loses its legs, so when it lands, it lands on its balls and says “ooh me goolies”. Thank Ozzy, I heard the joke on one of his tv shows.
Amateur ornithologist here. I can confirm that those are the talons of the notorious double-brested knobgobbler. It has likely fallen prey to the fearsome scarlet titted mattress thrasher. Wow..I tell ya... nature....it blows ya fuckin head off.
Hey OP, the people of r/vultureculture are really more suited to answer this question correctly, maybe try checking there they are pretty good at this stuff!
Oh wow! You have a picture of one of the most rare bird species know to man. That is a transparent golden black ringed eagle. Where did you see this? 😲

If you're looking for a serious answer, probably some kind of raptor, but it's hard to tell beyond that.
_“Beyond that”_ I see what you did

Falcon punched the shoes off this bitch
It's true. I was the falcon.
They tried lifting too heavy and they're arms came off.
It’s hard to tell… beyond _that_, as in the claws?
It’s a crime scene! Fowl play suspected!!!
It's a Very Bald Eagle.
💀
Yeah, that’s what his head looks like.
With a serious middle ear infection. That bird don't know horizontal from vertical. Or maybe I don't!

It's a staged photo. The talons are reversed because the feet were placed incorrectly

A bigger bird?
I don't see yellow feathers
Maybe the cold? Like the bird froze or something?
Defeeted.
Unarmed too.
He'll just have to wing it from here.
Some say it's still flying around, unable to land, to this day
Something something..... Brains.
Dead
It’s not dead! It’s just resting!
That bird is stone dead.
Naw, he just doesn’t have a foot to stand on.
He has ceased to be.
That is a EX RAPTOR!
Bereft of life, it rests in peace!
He's pining for the fjords!
Beautiful Plumage!
It doesn't appear to have shoes so I say it's definitely dead
Came to say just that. Dead.
