The nominate helmeted guineafowl (meleagris) has a tall casque while the southern subspecies (marungensis) has a blunt casque. These are shown close-up in the first three slideshow images. Juveniles and immatures are also shown. The above image was made in Tarangire in January 2008 and is courtesy of Fain Zimmerman; roll your cursor over the enlargement to see another enlargement of a nest with keets in an urban garden in Dar es Salaam, courtesy of Anne Outwater. |
