Either common name is used, as is Manchurian Crane.Several crane species have red crowns.Not all cranes are Grus, the wattled crane is Bugeranus carunculatus, demoiselle and blue cranes are in the genus Anthropoides and the crowned cranes are in the genus Balearica.The Japanese (or Manchurian or red-crowned crane) is Grus japoensis
