What is the scientific name of the bird known as "kara kara"?

There is a whole group of birds that bear this name, which comes from the sound of their calls, but it's likely that the name was adopted from the Guaran铆 people of South America for the Southern Caracara, Caracara plancus. In Paraguay, the Southern Caracara is called "carancho" or "kara kara," while the different-voiced Yellow-headed Caracara, Milvago chimachima, is called "chimachima" or "kiri kiri."

What is the scientific name of the bird known as "kara kara"?
It is called the crested caracara. Scientific name is Caracara cheriway.
