In poor light these guys are hard to tell apart. Even in good light it's tricky.

[Stephen and I saw a raft of these today; he thought it would make a nice picture
but I said the light was not nearly good enough. This is from March 2010.]

The green-headed guy is a Common Goldeneye, the blue-headed guys are Barrow's Goldeneyes.

The rest are either females or immatures and pretty hard to ID.
