Hybrid Turkey

[archer36]

This is a trail cam pic of a Hen Turkey had a clutch of about 8 poults this year.  The Farmer thinks it's a cross between a Domestic Turkey that escaped from his pen and a Wild Turkey. I've seen the group many times over the past 5 months. The Farm is only about a half mile from my house and they are seen from the road and while hunting.

I have never seen one before so I got deluded into thinking it was a Hybrid.

I once saw what I think was a peahen or perhaps a Gunia fowl traveling with a flock of turkeys
