Females will strut sometimes, I've heard stories of hens having beards and strutting. I believe it was one of the latest Primos Truth videos that they filmed a hen strutting and TRYING to gobble. Wierd things happen, I mean there have been antlered bucks killed only to find out they had to use a doe tag on them because it were a doe. Same deal with the color on the turkey, it is very possible that was a farm raised bird the escaped. Who knows. Shoot it, mount it and you'll have an instant conversation piece!

| Could also be a color phase bird. They rarely come in orange/red/black/ or white. You can read about it on the NWTF websites.

Ground check heem...
I wouldn't rule out that it's a turkey. I've seen some strange looking turkeys in my day.

I have seen hens strut, as a matter of fact I shot a bearded hen last year right after she came out of full strut, acting up for a B-mobile. She had a 6 inch beard. Black color may be opposite mutation of albinoism, think it's called melanonism or something like that.
