This is the Abyssinian species which is quite different to the Southern version in particular the presence of a casque.

Very cool looking bird, Ken. Nice composition as well. I see the f13 was a test, so obviously the bg could have been a little softer, but the contrast is sufficient that it's not of concern.

Dennis,

Thanks, the F13 was an attempt to get better detail on the head devil
