Charcoal Male (Pavo cristatus mutation brown
and charcoal)
This mutation has the same color pattern as the India
Blue male. The facial skin is white. The crest in fan shaped.
The entire bird is charcoal in color. This mutation has a change
in the feather structure which does not allow for iridescence
such as in the Cameo male. The head and neck are a charcoal color.
The wings have barring. The ocelli in the train feathers have
a noticeable eye pattern.
