Observation details

Feeding along the outer edge of the flats. Canvasback-like bill and seemingly more bulbous belly and waddling gait have/had me leaning Tule over Western. Would be happy to hear any thoughts favoring Western over Tule. ...did some looking around and the lack of a chocolatey brown head and neck on any of these birds seems to be a real concern (i.e. the lack of contrast between head, neck, and belly). The bills still seem canvasback-like and the birds seemed larger than I'm used to seeing in the field, but not sure what to make of that.
