I think FBBird is right and it is an Umbrella Cockatoo, as the plumage is very white in colour. They may call it a 'Mollucan', or 'Salmon-crested' cockatoo though- that is a very similar species but which has an overall pink tinge to the plumage.

Umbrella is also known as Great White Cockatoo, if that helps. Molluccan is similar size & rounded crest shape, but with deep salmon pink crest and pink flush over the whole plumage. Both species can be very large and very loud.

Citron-crested cockatoo is the Sumba subspecies of lesser sulphur-crested cockatoo - it is small with a bright orangey-yellow crest.

White cockatoo is the one in this picture (although most people, myself included, call it an umbrella cockatoo [for the shape of the crest]).

Chiang Mai Zoo (Thailand) has Sulphur Crested and Umbrella cockatoos in the same exhibit.
