The bird pictured is very likely male. Male birds tend to be brightly colored, while females and juveniles are often "dull-colored", such as brown or grey.

Thanks to your comment I realized I had never seen a female peacock and after some ddging I've learned that they're called peahens and that they don't look nearly as majestic as their male counterparts.
