Common Goldeneye in St. Louis County

Common in St. Louis County in the Winter season

I could of submitted this as a Barrow's Goldeneye but it easily fits into both categories. This is a Common Goldeneye X Barrow's Goldeneye that has been hanging around in the Duluth Canal Park area all winter so far. The duck's head points towards Barrow's and the rest of the duck body parts points towards Common Goldeneye. I added in the image Common Goldeneyes for viewers to see how similiar the body structure is to common Goldeneye and how different the head shape is and lore white spot is in comparison to Common Goldeneyes nearby.
