Can you post a picture of it and how old is he? At this time of year, mature males will develop a certain swelling in the neck area, just a sign of their manliness, if you will. It couldn't just be that could it? If it's not that, then perhaps a bee sting or a bruise.

It's fine, he's a very manly Peacock.

Yeah it is just a breeding season thing. During the breeding season the males look thinner and they even posture a bit with their neck making it S curved a lot. My peacock Alto likes to lower his neck and fluff up that back of the neck area to make it look even more larger. I noticed my other peacocks aren't doing that so maybe only the dominant male is allowed to do that...I have no idea but it is normal.

Its normal, dont worry.
