...... from the Latin "pileum" — referring specifically to its red crest — it
would be pie-le-um and thus pie-le-ay-ted.
Colloquially pronounced pill-e-ay-ted, for no good reason. Some references say
both pronunciations are correct. Everybody gets a gold star. I suppose it's
like toe-may-toe and toe-mah-toe ........ go with the flow .........
