White Wild Turkey

This is a very odd color phase of the Eastern Wild Turkey. Something I have never seen before. It's obviously not a domestic that has taken up with the flock of wild birds, nor is it an albino, but just a white to light gray color with dark gray markings. I sure wish I had been able to get in a little closer for a more detailed shot, but this is the best image I got. Maybe next trip into Newton County will produce a better image of this striking bird
