What variety are we?

After posting about the various colors of my new keets, I thought it might be best to get opinions on the parents. Ideas?

Maybe Pearl Gray heres a color chart might help http://www.guineafowl.com/fritsfarm/guineas/colors/

Pearl pied (white on chest).

Yep, as speckledhen said, they're pearl pied. I've got a male pearl pied myself who looks just like yours! His name is Cornelius.

Pearl pie bald.

So this would account for the five keets having three distinctive different colors?

Those pics of the parents look like the birds have some purple around thier shoulders...or is that just the light?

So do the pearl grey have purple on thier necks and chest/upper back? I have some that I thought would be pearl grey but I had them out in the sun the other day and they are really purplish on those areas...
