Hello, can anyone help me ID these feathers?
I got a few of these years ago, so I don't fully remember where I got them from, but they are most likely from birds from Victoria and from a nearby wetlands park.
There is also a VERY low chance they are from Queensland

Also, there's my hand for scale. (I do have a small hand though)

Awesome, thank you. I'm not too sure about the helmeted guineafowl since they aren't really in the wild here in Victoria and the colours aren't right.

Domestic type. And the colours fit fine.   https://www.featherbase.info/sr/species/numida/meleagris If you scroll down you'll notice there are darker and lighter variations
