Talk about your not so common back yard shots.. Was at a friends farm, and this pair of these came through for a visit. I have looked online, supposedly it is a female Partridge. If so, i would love to know the species of Partridge it is. If not, i would love to know what it is..

That's a guinea. Definitely not a partridge.

Thank you for the reply, i have never in my life seen one, had no idea what i was taking a picture of lol.. I tried a image search on google and someone had a pic "only one i could find" of one of these, and had it listed as a female partridge..

I should mention im in the Midwest in the US, im in my 40's, and did not even know these things existed before today.

Oh ya a Guinea for sure, they make great watch dogs.

Will have to keep that in mind, was just reading up on them, and see they are great for tick control.
We were all out in my friends back yard, and there were two of these, that came across the field by his house and right through the yard close to us..
We were all trying to figure out what they were..
