The plumed guinea fowl is a member of the guinea fowl bird family. It is found in humid primary forest in Central Africa. It resembles some subspecies of the crested guinea fowl, but has a straighter and higher crest, and a relatively long wattle on either side of the bill. The bare skin on the face and neck is entirely dull grey-blue in the western nominate subspecies, while there are a few orange patches among the grey-blue in the eastern subspecies schubotzi.
