Least Concern

The Southern Crested Guineafowl is a dark, spotted guineafowl with a curled crest and pale-spotted body. It inhabits woodland, open forest, and forest-savanna mosaics of southeastern Africa, foraging on the ground in pairs or small groups. It is not considered globally threatened, but local abundance depends on healthy woodland and low hunting pressure.
