Adult male. Differs from T. satyra chiefly in having a much 

 longer black occipital crest tipped with dull Indian red ; no red on 

 the sides of the occiput ; only the sides and back of the neck dark 

 Indian red ; a patch of dark red on the upper wing-coverts of the 

 shoulder only ; the bastard-wing black, barred with buff like the 

 quills ; the white subterminal spots of the longer upper tail-coverts 

 surrounded with rufous ; the neck and upper part of chest shining 

 orange-scarlet, the feathers being unusually stiff and hard ; the 

 feathers of the rest of the underparts black at the extremity and 

 dark red irregularly barred with black towards the base, except the 

 flank- feathers, which have the basal part barred with black and buff; 

 each feather with a round subterminal white spot. Bill blackish ; 

 naked skin round the eye bright red ; fleshy horns sky-blue : gular 

 flap purple in the middle, flesh-coloured on the sides, spotted and 

 edged with pale blue ; legs and feet livid flesh-colour. Total length 

 27 inches, wing 10'8, tail 9-2, tarsus 3"1. 



Immature males resemble the females in general plumage, but 

 the head is suffused with black and the neck with dull orange-red, 

 and most of the feathers of the upper parts and all those of the 

 under have a round subterminal white spot edged with black. 



Adult female differs from the female of T. satyra in having the 

 general tone of the plumage much greyer, with very little rufous 

 buff even on the wings and uridcstparts.
