[Maine-birds] Eurasian/ x American Wigeon

After taking a close look on a big monitor, my Timber Point drake Eurasian Wigeon from this morning may have a touch of hybrid American in it. I loaded a few more lightened photos into my checklist, and while the photos are crummy, the gape looks to have a bit of American character, front buffy area seems a bit extensive, and, something that wasn't evident in the field, what appears to be a faint but slightly darker aricular shadow. Possibly an F2. I'd be very interested to see what others think, if anyone got better views in the field or good photos.
