Wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, 2016.

North America's wild and domestic turkeys are actually the same species, originally derived from a southern Mexican subspecies of wild turkey. Interestingly, the moniker 'turkey' probably didn't originate in North America at all. Instead, as the domesticated variety of turkey was imported to Britain via Spain, the British associated the bird with the country Turkey and the common name was never changed.
