Bird identification please

Saw these on the road down to the water at the Yuba near 20 bridge. Cute little guys, I just can't remember what their names are.

They look like Guinea Fowl to me ... but I am no expert.

I agree w/ Matt, they look like Helmeted Guineafowl to me too.

What they said! Without a doubt they are Guinea Fowl.

Thanks everyone. Now I can call them by there name, I really didn't care to yell at them "Hey you, bird, get out of the road."

Dinner and fly tying material to boot!

I was looking at the cape and I saw alot of feathers I could have used. So does it taste like chicken or turkey?

those are TERIDACTILES right???

I saw them down there a couple weeks ago too, they were in the middle of the road and I could not help but think about what good flying material they would have made...:evil:But I let them cross the road safely. Guinea is one of my favorite materials for Steelhead flies, I love it.

Guinea hens for sure. The owner wont know if you not only had dinner, but flies to catch trout on!
