La pintada crestada de Edouard es un ave grande terrestre de los bosques del África subsahariana, reconocible por su cresta negra eréctil y el plumaje negro punteado de blanco. La piel facial azul y roja proporciona colorido adicional. Se alimenta de semillas, frutas e invertebrados en el suelo forestal. Vive en grupos sociales y produce llamadas ruidosas cuando se alarma. Mantiene conexiones con bosques densos y su área de distribución se fragmenta por la deforestación.
