Indo-Chinese Green Male (Pavo muticus imperator)
The male is similar to the muticus muticus, but not
as brilliant. The fringes of the neck, upper back, and breast
feathers are more coppery in color, and not as golden brown. Lower
breast and flanks are duller and darker. The mantle and back are
slightly more bluish and less golden. The wing coverts and outer
web of the secondary feathers are bluer and a little duller, with
less green on the borders. Indo-Chinese Green bred to Indo-Chinese
Green breed true.
