What color is this turkey?

[lilchick]

He came from Porters Rare Turkey Farm. I thought he was a golden phoenix but now am thinking a tiger bronze? I need to post a pic. of him with his tail fanned out...

Looks like a young Pheonix to me. Send a pic to Kevin Porter, he will confirm.

Looks like a rare Thanksgiving turkey to me! Seriously, I would ask Kevin. He is the genetics guru.

It does't appear to have the vertical pencilling on the tail like the tiger bronze.

The tail coverts seem to have a lot of white or very light tan trim for a phoenix. But it doens't look pencilled either. The tail color also suggests no red gene. Golden Phoenix don't breed true, so depending on how Kevin makes his golden phoenix, this could be a black-winged bronze with a variety of recessive genes. The wing coverts do seem to be developing some gold color, but color can be tough in photos.
