Re: [Maine-birds] Common Eider or Something different? (pic)

The facial pattern gives the impression of a Canada Goose, but the size would be wrong unless, maybe it is a Cackling Goose? But the way it is sitting in the water seems more grebe than goose, and the size would come closer to matching. There have been reports of Red-necked Grebe in the midcoast, so I wonder. Of course it could just be shadows and angles playing with us as well.

Hello All,

I have a pic of a group of eider and something looks a bit off with one of the birds.  Pic taken at Pemaquid Point by a friend.

Interested to see what others think about this bird.  Something other than an eider or just a weird camera angle?
