Female CONGO PEAFOWL (Afropavo congensis)  ©zooadmin The Congo Peafowl, Afropavo congensis, is a species of peafowl. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Afropavo. The female is generally a chestnut brown bird with a black abdomen, metallic green back, and a short chestnut brown crest. Both sexes resemble immature Asian Peafowl. Having characteristics of both the peafowl and the guineafowl, it may indicate that the Congo Peafowl is a link between the two families.
