Aaron 631 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 You can see in this photo that the bill is quite a bit longer than the width head and is also slightly upturned, which also points to greater. Greaters also have a paler bill base making the nostril more pronounced, but you can’t really see that in these photos except the last one. Sometimes you get lucky and have both types beside each other then it is quite easy to decipher the two. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easier to see on enlarged pics... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
