Media notes
The high forehead on this bird first caught my eye. The dark-brown head, faintly yellow eye, and all-black bill makes me think its a SY bird that didn't undergo pre-formative molt. In any case, the bill size and shape looks Common to me and the other 4 Goldeneyes on the same pond were clearly Common. I attribute the head shape to the bird's temporarily alert posture.
