It's colored and marked exactly like a Black Spanish Turkey, which is a domestic breed of turkey, probably because it is, or is at least cross bred with one. I frequently see pictures of domestic turkeys posted on line, that people shot while hunting, especially Narrangasset and Royal Palm crosses.
Most of the heritage breeds of turkeys, which are lighter than the meat breeds, if free ranging, will go off and breed wild turkey hens. They are heavier and stronger than the wild Toms and can easily whoop them in a fight.
