I have these two Royal Palm Heritage Turkeys, I thought they were both boys since they both fan out if I play turkey sounds and have semi-long snoods, but recently one has gotten a lot more red/blue on its head and is gobbling a lot, as well as displaying more when I play sounds from my phone. He's definitely a boy, so my main question is, is the other a female or just a less dominant male? The feathers on her/his neck go up higher too, which I know is sometimes an indicator of a female.

They're 5 months old, hatched the beginning of August. The first two pictures of the "male" was before I played sounds and got him worked up. The second two are after he displayed. The "female?" didn't react to the videos or gobble/display.

Thank you in advance!
