That's 犠 in 犠牲. In this if you can identify the second kanji you can always do a search like this: http://jisho.org/search/*牲
Sometimes you have a full word but a simple wildcard search would be too broad or you don't know both kanji, so a tool like kantan is useful: http://itayperl.github.io/kantan/ui/
You just add a [] and put in any radicals you can identify from the kanji, so something like this: http://itayperl.github.io/kantan/ui/#/[牛][牛]
or even this: http://itayperl.github.io/kantan/ui/#/[牛]牲

for future searching, 犠 contains ⽜(4 strokes) ⼽ (4 strokes) ⼿ (4 strokes) ⽺ (6 strokes)

Help identify a kanji found in magazine
I have a collection of Japanese magazines and books that I use to aid my learning. I am usually able to find the kanji without issue but this one is a doozie. The images are huge so I don't want to embed them as they'll take up the whole screen:

I've tried using the Google Translate app's kanji drawing capability. Usually, it will find me the kanji, then I can copy/paste the typed character into jisho.org. However, this one is so complex and kind of hard to identify every stroke against the background in the magazine, so I think I'm making mistakes drawing it that prevent the app from correctly identifying it.
I also tried using jisho.org's radical search to no avail. I'm still quite rusty identifying radicals in 10+ stroke kanji.
I even poured over every kanji listed in Wikipedia's kanji page between 14 and 16 strokes several times and could not find it.
I was hoping someone here might be able to identify it and just type it into the forum so I can plug it into jisho.org and go from there :emoji_smile:
Thanks!
