Adult male. Plumage like that of G. albocristatus, but the crest is 

 black glossed with purplish blue, and the terminal white bars to the 

 rump and upper tail-coverts are usually narrower. Size smaller. 



Adult female. Perfectly similar to the female of G. albocristatus, 

 but rather darker. 



Young specimens differ from their adults in the same points 

 mentioned under the j'oung of G. albocristatus.
