Observation details

Continuing. The head is mostly rufous with a cream crown but differs from a pure Eurasian Wigeon in having green around the eye (some pure Eurasian Wigeons can have a small amount of green around the eye), a little bit of green at the posterior top of the head, a dark area at the nape of the neck, and lighter cheeks that contrast with the rest of the rufous head. See attached photos.
