Length: 16 in (40 cm)[4]
Weight: Males 8.11-9.49 oz (230-269 g); females 8.01-9.98 oz (227-283 g)[5]
These green bodied turacos have a white-tipped reddish crest, a black belly, and red primaries.
They also feature green-blue wings and a dark blue-green tail.[6]
The red skin around their eyes is margined in front by a white line that extends to its bright red
bill, and below by a small black patch also boarded by a white line that extends to below its ear-
covets.[7] Their white eye stripes and red orbital skin help to distinguish them from the more
common Red-crested turaco.[3]
