Observation details
Poor photos but one can certainly see the completely orangey-pink bill. In some of the photos with both Common and Barrow's Goldeneye, one can just make out the head shape being more tilted oval-shaped rather than the more triangular head of the Common (pointed at center crown). I see a slightly deeper warm chocolate brown head on the Barrow's rather than the lighter, slightly grayer-brown head color of the Common. Guessing that this is a Barrow’s Goldeneye, but I’d like to see what others think.
