Depending on how darkly colored it is, it is either a Chocolate or a Royal Purple.

If it was pied the strip on the top of the head would be narrower.

Thanks! Yeah I just edited my post before I saw yours. I’m leaning more toward Royal Purple

It's light enough that it could be a female Chocolate. A male Chocolate would be lighter. It is so hard to tell the actual colors from an Internet picture.

Your knowledge on guineas amazes me!
I’m looking up now what a chocolate adult guinea looks like.

Such pretty birds! My husband told me after I posted that he saw some medium-brown guineas running around, and he knows what RPs look like, so going with chocolate. (Also @R2elk previously ID’d a RP keet for me and they aren’t the same color at all).
This guy lived out in the middle of nowhere and probably had over 500 birds, geese, duck, chickens, guineas, peafowl... all different colors, all running together. Babies everywhere. It was insane.
I picked out those two out of a cage of about 100 pearls, he just handed me a net and said “$5 apiece”. LOL.
