Helmeted guineafowl        Images © Mark A. Chappell

There are numerous species of francolins -- grouselike birds -- in Africa.   This helmeted guineafowl was walking along a road in Nairobi National Park, Kenya.   It's closely related to the spectacular vulturine guineafowl, which frequents arid areas.
