Black Crowned Crane
Balearica pavonina
Black Crowned Crane has predominantly charcoal-black to dark slate-gray plumage, with a somewhat paler neck; males and females are alike in coloration. Broad white wing coverts contrast with golden-buff and chestnut wing feathers, while the back, breast, and tail are dark and largely unpatterned. Its defining crown consists of stiff, slender golden feathers radiating above a black, velvety forecrown.
