First of all, all peacocks are male peafowl; peahens are female peafowl.
Like most birds, the female of the species is usually drab and blends in with their environment. This serves to hide them from predators in their environment particularly when they are nesting.
As an aside, there are other instances when we confuse the gender term of of a species with the name of the species. For instance, many people call all cattle, cows, when actually cow is the female cattle and bull is the male cattle. The terms cow and bull are used in numerous mammalian species to designate gender, not species, just as cock and hen are used in a number of species of birds.
