Default dumb question from a dumb guy

I was just wondering what the different types of Turkey are out there. I know there are four, just for my curiosity.

Other than the Oscillated, they're all variations of the same species. The differences are geographical, rather than biological.

Here is an oscillated bird, in Guatemala.
Take a look at those spurs!

Yes sir, took it at about 10'. Fishing for Tarpon, bonefish, Sailfish, etc. in Guatemala.

I coulda choked that thing to death, but I didnt have a tag, and they are like little pets around there, so... But as a Turkey hunter, I wanted to take him home, next best thing was a couple pictures.

Heres another of him.

Nice pics! That bird has nice feather but his head is butt ugly! In the second picture it looks like he is thinking of use those spurs.
