White-breasted Guineafowl

Agelastes meleagrides

Vulnerable

The White-breasted Guineafowl is a secretive forest guineafowl of the Upper Guinea rainforest. It has dark plumage, a bare red head, and a contrasting white breast, and it forages on the forest floor for seeds, fruit, termites, and small animals. Habitat loss, forest fragmentation, and hunting make this species conservation-sensitive.
