Side by side (Meleagris gallopavo)

These two seemed pretty well matched for size, but I think perhaps the one in back was better at puffing himself up and spreading his wings downward to create an illusion of being bigger. Kind of like some ordinary guy sucking in his belly at the beach whenever there are women about ;)
