Not really, as it is a poor picture and he has lost most all his beautiful feathers since it is no longer mating season. A Peacock. Here's a picture of him in full bloom!
That picture is of a unique bird called a paon mâle. It sat in a pecan tree all night above my tent and serenaded me with a sound that sounded like a cross between a cat and a horse that was being étranglé. As this species are related to pheasant, I am wondering what they taste like grilled over a bed of hickory coals and basted with some Carolina barbque sauce.
Is that top picture a peacock or a turkey? Sorry if this is a silly question.

You'll have to come back in the Spring and hear him when it's mating season!:)
