I don't remember noticing that at time of taking the pics @MichaelMulvaney, but I can't see a crest in any of the photos I took either.

Hi Michael. I can't be sure, but I don't think it's Baldy. The red looks too solid for Baldy's head, even at its best. This bird also looks much darker overall than Baldy who always looks quite a pale grey.
