The plumed guineafowl (''Guttera plumifera'') is a member of the guineafowl bird family. It is found in humid primary forest in Central Africa. It resembles some subspecies of the crested guineafowl, but has a straighter (not curled) and higher crest, and a relatively long wattle on either side of the bill. The bare skin on the face and neck is entirely dull grey-blue in the western nominate subspecies, while there are a few orange patches among the grey-blue in the eastern subspecies ''schubotzi''. ==Taxonomy== There are two recognized subspecies: * ''G. p. plumifera'' (Cassin, 1857) - Cameroon plumed guineafowl - southern Cameroon to Congo Basin, northern Gabon, and northern Angola * ''G. p. schubotzi'' (Reichenow, 1912) - Schubotz's plumed guineafowl - northern Zaire to East African Rift and forests west of Lake Tanganyika 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「plumed guineafowl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
