If your neck is measured correctly, then where the ring is...depends on your "S" curve and attitude of the bird. If he is alert his neck will be up higher, if he is resting...the ring and neck will be lower and tucked flush against the body...Just look at as many reference pic's as you can...You'll get it! Good Luck!
If your reference tells you the white ring is higher, Move the skin up the neck till it looks like your reference. If the neck is too big it will prevent you from doing that.
