I'm not sure if the correct name is speckled gobbler or not, but my buddy harvested this beautiful bird on Saturday morning in South Central PA.  This is going to be make a beautiful mount!

Looks like a cross between an Eastern and a Royal Palm.  Pretty cool looking.

I'd love for some people to shed some light on what they think caused this color phase.  I saw a hen once that was "speckled", but I've never seen anything like this.  I've read where this could have been created by a wild turkey breeding with a domesticated turkey, but other than that I don't know a whole lot.

There are 4 different color phases in the wild turkey. This one seems to be a erythritic, red, phase. Here is a link from the NWTF on each color phase.
