There are at least two explanations: the bird is moulting (there comes a stage when the head is totally without feathers! showing the very dark skin and looking really weird!); OR the crest, being to some extent controllable by muscles at the bases of the feathers, perhaps has just been lowered and "hidden" by the bird? Other possibilities?
