Well he gobbled and he has been seen in full strut, not by me but by a friend...he's got alot of black on those upper winds and middle of his back and he did have a little 1-2 incher sticking out ..

Looking at the head, I could almost swear that looks like a hen, it doesn't have the triangular "forehead" gobblers have. The head of that thing looks so much like the head of our hen decoys.

His neck feathers end in the appropriate area of the neck for a gobbler..about where the wattles are..hens have them much further up the neck and lots of hairs right up to top of the skull, he has none of that..if you look very very close you can actually see the very end of his really short beard..HE does not have much of a spur however, could be that he was a late hatch from the previous summer and is not all that old..I don't know...hopefully I'll catch up to him next fall and we'll see up close what he looks like....check back in November..

I dunno', see if you can get some better pictures sometime this summer, and post them again, and then we'll be able to see if it has a beard, even so, it might be a bearded hen with a very small beard.
I looked and didn't see his beard, maybe you saw something that's something in the road, like a rock of gray color.
