Thanks, John. I think that all the Wild Turkeys on the Florida peninsula are Osceolas but would not bet my life on it. The adult Tom’s are quite dark. I spent ten minutes surfing and did find this:

The Osceola Wild Turkey, also known as the Florida Turkey can only be found on the Florida peninsula. This bird is smaller and darker in color than the Eastern Wild Turkey, and was named after the famous Seminole Chief Osceola in 1890.

Nice light and pose. The iridescence on the feathers is great. Killer background as well. I could see a version with a little less on the right this is still nice though. Is this a Osceola tureky?
