Numida meleagris
Ethiopia, Gambela region
It are Guineafowls, but hey have no helmet, no crest ..... ? I can only find 3 species http://tolweb.org/Numididae/26304
Your right Liam, i looked at a few other pics and indeed there's a small helmet by one of them
Thanks to both of you, really amazing knowledge.
The doubt always kills me ;-))))
@ Liam & Daniele,
I zoomed in on the picture, but i can't see the helmet ? or do only the male have one ??
Hi Isabella! It seems Liam and I were typing in almost at the same time:-) I would go with the helmeted one. The helmet varies geographically, and is less developed in females and juveniles.
