Both mature widgeon but differant coloring on the head. One looks slightly stormy :dunno:
-
I still think they are both Americans :dunno:
-
Notice how this euro has an ALL headish head instead of the creamish with black spots
Here is a hybrid though (American + Eurasian)....
...and an eclipse...
-
:twocents: Mature & Immature...............I can't really tell from the pic? But is that a green band around the neck on the one on the right?
-
Definitely not a Euro or hybrid but what throws me off is the green eye streak w/white vs. the copper-red one.
-
The 3rd one on the right is the least mature and it still has the green streak
-

Yes slightly
-
another shot
-
Definitely looks normal to me. Just a little different coloring.
-
Yeah definitely American but thinking it's the "Stormy" strain from farther up north
-
Both Americans. Up north has nothing do with the "Stormy" look...it's simply a variation in genetics. Same species. Nothing special. That bird is a nice bird regardless.
-
both mature, wigeon just vary quite a bit in coloration. THe red sheen is because of the camera/light angle on it.

No not the camera or light. Over the years I've shot a ton of widgeon but never noticed this much difference in color variation side by side.
-
They look exactly the same to me - dead.
