Master pages will have content placeholders like this

ASP.NET

 <asp:contentplaceholder id="head" runat="server" >
</asp:contentplaceholder><!--Take note of id='head' -->

Web content pages those which use the master page must use content elements which has the same placeholder id specified in Master Page File.

XML

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server"> 
<!--ContentPlaceHolderID="head" is important-->
</asp:Content>

In your case you are using a ContentPlaceHolderID which is not specified in master page like this.

XML

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent" runat="server">  
</asp:Content> <!-- change  ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent" to ContentPlaceHolderID="head" -->

This will fix the error.

Hope it helps.
