Indian Peafowl
Pavo cristatus
The Indian Peafowl adult male has an iridescent blue head, neck, and upper breast, contrasting with a green-bronze back and patterned wings. Fine black-and-buff barring covers the wing coverts, while elongated upper tail coverts form a bronze-green train marked with blue-centered eyespots above the shorter, brown true tail. An upright, fan-shaped crest consists of slender feather shafts tipped with small blue-green vanes.
