Agree with Turkey.

John Lamoreux

Not to pile on, but I also agree with wild turkey. In general, tail feathers (unlike wing feathers) have about equal amount of material on either side of the rachis. If it is a large feather with that balance (such as this one), then you start looking at grouse and turkeys.

Yes, Im agree with wild turkey..if you want asure this search in http://www.fws.gov/lab/featheratlas/..
