30D, 500f4 & 1.4X, ISO 320, AE, @f8 & 1/250th, flash -1/3
These guys usually show only a thin yellow line down the top of their head. They display only in excited interaction with each other - and not for long. I've never seen one throw his crest this high. I was set up on another bird & had to quickly move 10 feet to my left & shoot through a hole in the foliage.
Extreme crop to get rid of the surrounding branches & leaves. Left a bit of branch in the shot to give at least a hint of environment. Standard post-processing - on a laptop.
