Guttera

h Guttera is a genus of birds in the Numididae family. Established by Johann Georg Wagler in 1832, it contains two species:


 * Plumed guineafowl, Guttera plumifera
 * Crested guineafowl, Guttera pucherani

The name Guttera is a combination of the Latin words gutta, meaning "spot" and -fera, meaning "bearing" (from ferre: to bear).

The two species are found in forests of sub-Saharan Africa. Unlike other guineafowl, they have a distinctive black crest.
