Default Identify this bird

On my commute to work in the morning, I seem to keep passing these birds walking around in front of a farm gate.

Turkey?

I didn't But I only take photos of them, and try, despite the memory capabilities of a goldfish, to remember what some of them are!

Andy seems to be right though.

Not the thread I'd hoped it to be.

I was hoping to see at least a couple pair of T1ts. (Blue T1ts of course)

They may look like Guinea Fowl to an untrained eye, but an expert will tell you thats definately a penguin.

I can see where you're coming from but look at the shape of the joint on the 3rd toe and the claws again and you'll see quite clearly that they are Guinea Fowl, the common Penguin's deadly enemies.
