Scarf cloud, or pileus: an accessory cloud, often cirrus (i.e. made of ice particles) that forms above or is attached to a cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud. As you would expect, it is generally shaped like a cap, hood, or scarf.
Now let me get this straight; a scarf cloud is a small ice cloud riding on a great big fluffy cumulus - like a sleek accessory. So it's a special occasion cloud. I like that.
