Author's comments:
El ejemplar de la foto se encuentra exhibiendo su plumaje nupcial o reproductivo. Éste se caracteriza por finas y largas plumas ornamentales, las cuales suele erizar. Las despliegan para hacer demostraciones atrayentes, exhibiéndose en su nido y ante los demás rivales machos en las diferentes colonias de nidificación. Además durante la temporada de cría, la piel situada entre el pico y los ojos se torna de un color verde esmeralda.
Nota: fotografía en clave baja.
