The head, chest and front part of the neck are black with a red fleshy wattle in front of each eye. The bill is red with a black tip and it has a large white patch behind the eyes.
When it feels threatened it will perform distraction displays and make loud
piercing alarm calls to chase
predators away from its nest.
