The grey peacock-pheasant, also known as the Burmese peacock-pheasant, is a large Asian pheasant up to 76cm long. It is greyish-brown with finely spotted green eyespots, an elongated bushy crest, bare pink or yellow facial skin, a white throat, and a grey iris, bill and legs. The sexes are rather similar, but the female is smaller, darker and less ornamented; young birds resemble the female (Wikipedia, general species account).
