The two year old male peacock that was caught in the wild is very stunning is he a muticus muticus? He is more of what I thought muticus muticus would look like since you always read that muticus muticus is the most brilliant, followed by muticus imperator, then muticus spicifer. What I have been realizing from all of the photos you have taken and photos of your peafowl is that in my opinion, the imperators look more brilliant. Then I saw a set of photos of some wild imperators, actually after visiting the photographer's website again I see that they have taken even more photos, but it was these photos that really captured my love for imperators. They have a specific golden shine in some of these photos. It is just breathtaking.
Here is the link to the photos: https://naturfotografen-forum.de/o322244-Green+Peafowl
If you do some clicking around you can find other green peafowl photos too. It must be amazing to see them in the wild.
Anyways from leo7's photos, the imperators look much more brilliant than the muticus and the muticus hens have a lot more barring, which I think muticus hens are supposed to have a lot of barring like that? I am not sure as I am not an expert, I just love learning about them and looking at photos of them in the wild.
