A pintada-de-crista de Edouard é uma grande ave terrestre das florestas da África subsaariana, reconhecível pela sua cresta negra erétil e a plumagem negra salpicada de branco. A pele facial azul e vermelha proporciona colorido adicional. Alimenta-se de sementes, frutos e invertebrados no solo florestal. Vive em grupos sociais e produz chamadas ruidosas quando alarmada. Mantém ligação com florestas densas e a sua área de distribuição fragmenta-se pela desflorestação.
