Here are some photos that might help.
The depth of eye channels is always a tough call for me - on any species. Never sure how much shadow I want to cast....
In reality. most waterfowl show very little "eye channel" when the feathers are relaxed. Jaw line varies, too, of course.
I always like to show a bit of the "knot" on their squared-off heads.
In process.
Their delicate bill - compared with most of geese - is important to my eye.
The "swimming" posture is most typical for this species.
No channel showing here....
FWIW - Here a the Behr colors I use - shown on a Homer Decoys bird.
Hope these are useful!
