The Indian peafowl
This peacock was found roaming around one of the parks near the resort I stayed at in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I had to sneak around for a good half hour before I could get close enough to capture this photo. I particularly found the feathers and the tail quite beautiful under the sun beams, so I switched to my zoom lens to capture its details.

The Indian peafowl or blue peafowl, a large and brightly coloured bird, is a species of peafowl native to South Asia, but introduced in many other parts of the world.
