Green Peafowl

Green Peafowl adult males have predominantly iridescent green and bronze plumage, with a long ornamental train extending well beyond the true tail. Dark feather margins give the neck and breast a scaled appearance; blue wing coverts contrast with chestnut flight feathers, while elongated upper tail coverts form the train and bear multicolored eyespots. A tall, upright crest consists of narrow, closely grouped feathers, unlike the broadly fanned crest of the Indian Peafowl.
