Vulturine Guineafowl

Vulturine Guineafowl adults of both sexes have similar plumage, combining a cobalt-blue breast with black, white-spotted body feathers and a dark central breast stripe. The back and wings are densely dotted with white, while the long, pointed tail is dark and the elongated neck feathers carry bold white stripes. Its small, largely bare head and upper neck show blue-gray skin, with a band of short chestnut feathers across the nape.
