It's a BBW, other than the size the short beak gives them away.

Is the black spot on the chest feather, or bristley? If its bristly then it is the start of his beard, if it is feather I would still guess hen, there is almost no snood)dangly thing from front of the comb.

I would say for a normal size family the turkey should be enough unless you like lots of left-overs. At 29 pounds live weight I would process it for Thanksgiving unless of course you want to continue to feed it and have a very large turkey for Christmas. I would say it should dress out now at 20 pounds ish.
