There is NO WAY anyone is going to be able to tell you without you being able to see it ! Colors go on sometimes in a particular order to shade and blend into the final color; I regress....for a lesser scaup - white, sailfish blue, wigeon blue, pintail grey, payne's grey and black. Now go try that and you will see what I'm talking about. You will undoubtedly end up with a lesser with a VERY electric blue bill because you do not understand how to apply since you have not actually seen it done EVER ! Buy the Breakthrough Waterfowl & Bird finishing Manual. Get a lot of reference - try Naturesphotography.net
Good luck and go with this knowledge - you learn more from yourself than you ever will from another, but YOU must seek it out weedhopper
