Awesome photo and beautiful bird. 

I sometimes disagree with the Merriam or Rio or Hybrid debate because too many folks swear Merriam's are always snow white (BS), but I have to say that one is far enough from the range of expected colors that I'd have guessed Eastern.  Regardless, he's still an awesome bird.  He looks pure turkey to me.

Congrats!

Congrats and thanks for sharing the amazing pic of your Klick bird.

Coloration is also effected by the birds diet and will change with what he's eating.  But Easterns are a darker chocolate color ....

Still an amazing score and pic ...
