	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Helmeted Guineafowl
		Although deeper than the call of the helmeted guineafowl, the crested guineafowl alarm call is also a staccato "chuk-chuk-chukchukerr." The lower pitch may be due, in part, to its windpipe being housed in the hollowed-out blade of its wishbone.
		Helmeted guineafowl are the most omnivorous of the guineafowl species, taking a broad range of plant and animal material (even small toads) from above and below the ground, switching their preferences to whatever appears to be abundant at the time, but focusing on insects and other arthropods during the breeding season.
		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.

		My guess is that it is a Helmeted Guineafowl, but its plumage normally is white and gray.
		Helmeted Guineafowl are from Africa and are common domestic birds, and there is actually one subspecies that has a white face, but I'm not convinced this is your bird either.
		There are a number of pheasants, guans, quails, and other birds that have a fairly similar color pattern, but I think it would take a better photo to make an identification.
