1. Even in the tavern, Qrow's eyes are a duller red than Raven's - noticeably so.

2. The feathers on top of its head. The other black birds' heads are completely smooth, while the one that became Qrow had extra feathers on top of its head that kinda resembles his hair (or his bangs when he pushes them back out of his face). Those feathers were even being blown by the wind while it flew. Those are not its eyebrows. They're not even attached to where the eyebrows would be. They're directly on top of its head.

3. The only times we've seen the bird after the fall of Beacon so far have been


 * End of the Beginning - When Qrow was in Patch, before RNJR and Qrow left the island to head to Mistral. It'd be risky for her to appear in person form there.
 * Family - When she spoke to Qrow. For all we know, she could've been busy between then and End of the Beginning. She was definitely busy when she and her tribe raided Shion, that's for sure. But apparently, she does still have time to somehow know that Beacon was gonna fall, and in volume 3, he told Yang that Raven had had intel for the mission he was on. So, apparently, Raven takes the time to find info on stuff, not just specifically about Yang or Qrow.
 * A Much Needed Talk - By this time, she had already spoken to Qrow.

Either way, there's a possibility she is and a possibility she isn't.
