This bird is truly unique! I love his/her colors too very much!

 Its plumage that begins with beautiful white lines, black and blue and we're going backwards it becomes full of small dots. Guinea fowl that I know are all buried points at first glance but not this one  

I'm so happy that you find this bird, truly pretty !
