A type of turkey. From náhuatl: huehxõlõtl
Wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

or...
pavo ocelado o guajolote ocelado (Meleagris ocellata)

I think it´s just the nahuatl name for turkey.
In Mexico, we use to eat guajolote on special days, as americans do with turkey on Christmas and in Thanksgiving day.
