Another Common Goldeneye

 This bird had me a little confused when I first saw it.  I always think of Common Goldeneyes as having a green sheen on the head and the Barrow's having a purple sheen.  This one definitely had a purple sheen,  I don't know whether it was the direction of the light - mostly side and back-lit - or if this bird is just not typical of the species in that regard.
