Red-crested Turaco

Tauraco erythrolophus

The Red-crested Turaco has predominantly green plumage with darker, glossy blue-green wings and tail; adult males and females are alike in coloration. Smooth green feathers cover the breast and back, while the long, dark tail contrasts with crimson primary feathers exposed when the wings open. A prominent crimson crest consists of dense, upright feathers and stands above a largely white-feathered face.
