Common or Barrow's ???
While trying to get some more photos of the Hooded Merganser, I inadvertently got this picture. It’s definitely a female Goldeneye duck, however I can’t decide whether it’s a Common Goldeneye or Barrow’s Goldeneye. Helpful comments would be appreciated!

I saw these Hooded Mergansers swimming in a slough near the Sacramento River. At first I thought that they were Wood Ducks; which is somewhat interesting because they do share the same habitat and both nest in tree cavities.
