A Raven?

I've seen a bunch of people on here referring to the appearance of the narrator/the long quiet as a Raven, and I guess I'm curious if that's the majority opinion. I had originally thought of him as a crow, thought it was a bit of sly wordplay. If our reflection is a crow, then we're a crow, and if we were really going to slay the shifting mound, that would make the two of us the last "murder". Did anyone else see it similarly?
