Demoiselle Cranes. They have a mostly blackish head and head-sides, with long black feathers on the lower neck and breast. They have a grey crown, that runs centrally to the back of the nape, where it joins with the long white post-ocular tufts.

Otherwise, they are mostly pale grey, apart from black under-tail feathers. Their eyes are reddish-brown, the bill is pale with dark grey at the base, and their legs and feet are greyish-black.
