I've always used cuervo, but I don't know if that's the most common, or even completely correct. When I looked it up it said raven. But when I looked up corneja it also said raven.

Both according to Spanish Dict dictionary and my own one cornejo means 'crow' wheras cuervo means 'raven'. They both belong to the family of the corvidae .
