It looks like fowl pox (dry). It is generally transmitted by mosquitos. There is 2 forms - wet and dry. The wet form can be serious. The dry form generally runs a cycle and once recovered the bird is immune to further bouts. Basic care is to keep it clean and apply Betadine to help prevent secondry infection.
The other possibility is a recovering injury but the other smaller black spots indicate pox.
Here is a link to some photos in the gallery
