Note how the eyebrows are differently colored between picture 1 and two - After I played (with Merlin Bird ID) the calls of female sooty grouse, this fellow did a nice strutting dance (photo 4) and his eyebrow tissues became engorged and turned from yellow orange to much more reddish. Be warned, they become extremely excited if you play female calls. When I did so, this bird almost flew into my car window it was so excited.
