Ignoring size, you can often distinguish between Corvus corax (common raven) and Covus brachyrhynchos (American crow) by the tail feathers; ravens tails in flight have a wider angled cone shape, crows tails have a narrower fan shape.
Crows and ravens, taxonomicaly speaking, are of the same genus, whereas frogs and toads are in different families--not exactly the same area perhaps.
> Ravens are crows, crows are ravens.
I would argue they are distinct.
