With its soft-textured white and salmon-pink plumage and large, bright red and yellow crest, it is generally recognised as the most beautiful of all cockatoos. (Wikipedia)

The upperparts are white while the face, neck underwings and underparts are salmon pink.  The crest is long and has bright red and yellow bands.

The males have a brown iris while femailes have a red iris.  Females also have a wider yellow band in their crests. (Simpson and Day)
