I believe he got that in Lincoln Co. so by Washington's definition, it's a Rio.  WA classifies by location for the purpose of the Washington Slam.

My Bird Thanks to Joe and Jodi from Sherman Creek!

Wow! Nice birds! The files are pretty large for my slow computer though.
I hinted 10 days to get this Jake. The big gobbler was comming in but this bird had a deformed foot and a DBL Beard so I wanted him!.

As said above, WDFW classifies it by county of harvest which was north Lincoln Co and therefore a RIO.  Since there can be variations in colorations due to genetics or feed or whatever, only a genetics test would prove for 100% certain what the subspecies is.   

 Since that's not happening, WDFW definition of Rio is good enough ...
