The white birds are definitely domestic turkeys, but the Central American
turkey also comes in the greys and browns.  The key visual differences seem
to be a broader spread of upturned tail feathers on the North American bird.
The NA turkey being a woodland animal holds its body roughly horizontal to
the ground while the CA turkey holds itself more erect to see over plains
grasses.  BTW, I have encountered what I believe to be undomesticated
members of both species in Oklahoma, where there is a boundary between the
eastern hardwood forests and the Great Plains habitats.

I don't know of any URL for The Poultry Seller.  We have a rather extensive
collection of works on art.  And I produced a transparency for a lecture on
Food in Renaissance Art.
