Helmeted Guinea fowl talk to truck backing up @ Davidson Mill Pond park, NJ

First time, i ever seen one, so i stopped and took some pictures and video. He was responding to sound of truck backing up with the backup beeping right behind me.

Took me over an hour of googling to identify this bird = Helmeted Guinea fowl and seen a picture which called it Brent Hathaway, but could not find more info. There were about 6 of them, he with another was half white, 1 was all white, and rest were that spotted black all over.

I thought they were juvenile turkey vulture or chicken with a head like that..

Location = road next to lake in Davidson Mill Pond county park, north brunswick, nj
