Black & White or Color?: Guira Cuckoo

I almost always prefer a black and white photo to a color photo, but every once in awhile, I feel conflicted. I took this photo of a Guira Cuckoo over the weekend at Discovery Cove.  They are a fascinating, curious breed of birds, which makes them a lot of fun to photograph. I love the personality in this photo, but I can’t decide if I prefer the black & white or color version. What do you think?
