She looks like a pied lavender. The keets look like pied pearls.

When submitting photos for identification of keets, it is best to submit 2 photos. Photo #1 looking straight down on the keet as the head markings and the back markings are very important in identifying keets. Photo #2 should be looking at the keet from the side as face markings and location of areas of white can be helpful also.

A head on photo usually does not provide much information for identification purposes. Photos of the subject such as your last photo that are under exposed can not be used for ID purposes since none of the head markings are visible. Photos should also be in focus. In your next to last photo, the wood in the background is clearly in focus while the keet is not in focus. That photo leads me to believe that it was taken with the keet too close to the camera. Most if not all camera and lens combinations have a minimum focus distance at which anything closer than that will be out of focus.

You can also take a look at the following link. Scroll down and you will find the section with photos of various colored keets.

PeepsCa is a guinea expert and is the person to contact for guinea identification. For her keet photos she places them in a white bucket with straw in the bottom. She has the bucket well lit from above. Here is the link to one of her photos.
