Do you mean, possibly: kururunfu or perhaps: hakutsuru?

I believe that there's a misunderstanding behind the whole idea. Since there is Hakutsuru, there has to be Kurotsuru, right?

Wrong.

There isn't a kata called "Kurotsuru" in traditional karate. If it exists somewhere, it's a modern creation - not a traditional kata.

And no, Aotsuru, Kiirotsuru and Akatsuru do not exist as kata, either.

I think the kata asked about is Hakusturu but I may be wrong. Hopefully phatkata can advise?

it's not a traditional kata,but in a sense it is, since it's made up from some crane katas but there is no history behind it(if you care) , there could be many of them out there but the one i have seen is created by Mr. metz from saishu ryu karate-jitsu. means black crane ,compare to hakutsuru,

I didn't know that. Interesting. Thank you
