Victoria crowned pigeon, Goura victoria

This is a Sclater's Crowned Pigeon (Goura sclaterii), the Victoria only has the unique crest feathers among all the crowned pigeons.
 
@Lynel_JBP I agree; the large white wing patch ( overlaid by maroon covert feathers) is a characteristic of the Sclater's Crowned Pigeon. The Victoria Crowned Pigeon, although just as beautiful, has a light blue wing patch that has blue feathers above it. Also the crown feathers are a little different and tipped with white in the Victoria Crowned Pigeon.
