Synopsis
B767 flight crew reported an airspeed indicator malfunction during takeoff resulting in a return to the departure airport.
Narrative
On takeoff in the high speed regime the Captain noticed a disagreement between his airspeed and flying First Officer's (FO) airspeed. His airspeed was accelerating normally and the flying FO's was not. The aircraft was configured for a no PAX / no cargo ferry flight to ZZZ. Take off gross weight was low; (263.1). The flying FO continued with the required Obstacle departure procedure clearance off of Runway XR. ZZZ Departure Control was notified that we needed to stop our climb and execute checklists.The Captain ran the airspeed unreliable checklist. ZZZ was notified that we would be returning when our checklists were completed. Charts were referenced and verified that both Captain and Standby instruments were reliable. Flying FO's airspeed was recovered thru switching the Air Data source. There was never any altimeter conflicts and the ground speed matched the Captains and standby instruments. [We requested priority] and pertinent info given to ATC at the same time. FBO at ZZZ was notified. Dispatch was notified and we followed the diversion checklist. The approach and landing was performed followed by a normal taxi; and after landing check performed at the gate. The [priority] was cancelled after clearing all runways.
