I need help figuring out if this bird is a wild turkey or a variety of domestically sold bird. Fish and Game biologist couldnt positively say. Any help appreciated. Thank you

She is definitely a Bronze which is what wild turkeys are for the purpose of using the Turkey Color Calculators.

Sure looks a lot like the Merriam's turkey that visited me on the 18th of April.

I know nothing about Turkeys except for the fact that these are Wild turkeys here in Oregon (the property fence is not a containment for them, they're wild and free....). Looks similar to me.
