Plus, the Ruddy sports gray feet, not orange like in the pic.
Juvi drake will look extremely similar, but the orange saddle on the bill is the clincher...
Juvi would not usually have the clear yellow eye in the first fall. But the hint of white around the base of the bill does look like a juvi. It is late enough to expect a juvi male to show more colors, IMO... I would stick with adult hen barrow's, but would not be betting against a juvi drake...
