The plumage is overall blackish with dense white spots. It has a distinctive black crest on the top of its head, the form of which varies from small curly feathers to down depending upon subspecies, and which easily separates it from all other species of guineafowl. It has a total length of approximately 50 cm and weighs 721–1,543 gr.
It is found in open forest, woodland and forest-savanna mosaics in sub-Saharan Africa.
