The first plumage of the young male is similar to that of 

 the female, but slightly darker, and the first indication of the 

 sexual difference is seen in the brighter and more orange- 

 coloured feathers of the crest, also in the golden-brown 

 feathers of the chin and throat. 



[This species is resident and not uncommon in the large 

 forest. The few notes it utters are loud and distinctive, and 

 serve to make its presence known, as it is not shy. It is 

 solitary except during the breeding-season, when it is met 

 with in pairs. — TV. F.]
