Sorry, I would need better pictures to make a guess.

I don't think it is a Bourbon Red but probably some type of Buff cross.

By 6 months old Bourbon Reds have their dark red adult feathers. These feathers appear to have an orange hue to them.

In Bourbon Reds it is very easy to differentiate between males and females once they have their adult feathers. The females will have light colored edges on their breast feathers and the males will have dark colored lower edges on their breast feathers.

If you want to try more photos:

1. Full frontal view. Take the photo so that the turkey fills the frame and is in focus.

2. Full side view. Take the photo so that the turkey fills the frame and is in focus.

3. Take photo from above and behind showing the the back of the neck and top of the head. Take the photo so that the turkey fills the frame and the back of the neck and top of the head is in focus.
