Dark wings

Obviously, they still look like a southern wild turkey. But their overall size and color is different.

Yep. They get that overall dark black look and can have strong iridescent traits. Some will be iridescent bronze and others iridescent green on the body feathers. Typically longer legs as well too due to the higher water level and swampy region they live in.

Looks traditional eastern to me. White bands don't appear to be broken.

Bird I shot a few years ago 70-80 miles from the GA/FL line, coastal area. Gil
