immature drake goldeneye

 

[Duck Soup]

Agree....immature drake goldeneye.

 

[sonnyuphi]

Might be a Barrow's Goldeneye -their patch is more elongated whereas a regular Goldeneye is round. The more I look at it the more I think Barrow's

 

[GrouseGuy]

Definitely not a Barrow's. Like others have said a juvenile Common Goldeneye drake.
