This is the first time I've heard of this variety being called reverse pied. Interesting name. We call them pintos here in the U.S. Has anyone been able to produce a solid white guinea by continuing the breeding of these reverse pied as you call them? It's my understanding that they do not become totally white by this process over here.

The name "Reverse Pied" has been used in the bird world for several decades. In Peafowl (developed by Peacocks Australia), Parrots, Finches and more recently Guinea fowl when developed by Peacocks Australia, it is the most accurate name to describe the phenotype of what you in the US call a "Loud pied" in peafowl and surprisingly also don't use with the guinea fowl you refer to as "Pinto" although that would mean you would then have "Loud Pied Peafowl" and "Loud Pied Guinea fowl" and for the layman that would indicate they are "Loud" We don't use the terminology of "Loud" at all in a phenotype of any bird. Like you in the USA white guinea fowl do not breed out of pied even a 99% phenotype white bred from pied parents is a pied genotype and will in its self breed pied/reverse pied (Pinto in USA) as pied cannot be controlled as you know.

I did not know you can get the guinea fowls with that much white feathering I have only seen them with little amounts of white until seeing the pictures here

They have only been around a couple of years or so as PA only sold a few initially after he developed them and now they are spreading with more people get them and breeding them
