Helmeted guineafowl

The helmeted guineafowl (''Numida meleagris'') is the best known of the guineafowl bird family, Numididae, and the only member of the genus ''Numida''. It is native to Africa, mainly south of the Sahara, and has been widely introduced into the West Indies, Brazil, Australia and southern France.
==Taxonomy==

In the early days of the European colonisation of North America, the native wild turkey (''Meleagris gallopavo'') was confused with this species. This led to the English name of the American bird, since Turkey and Guinea were equally far-off and exotic places. The word ''meleagris'', Greek for guineafowl, is also shared in the scientific names of the two species, although for the guineafowl it is the species name, whereas for the turkey, it is the name of the genus and (in an altered state) the family.
