It's a bearded hen!
As stated earlier just check the breast feathers NO IF AND or Buts Black tips are Toms or Jakes, buff is Hen. Hens heads always look all blue or gray when you see them gobblers always have a brighter blue and or red heads, hens never have red or bright blue.

That said the breast feather will give you the definitive answer.
Either way you had a successful hunt!

JW I think what you are seeing is a nail and not a spur.
