Lovely colorful BG Jake, and nice wing position. I did a quick search regarding the "orange" feathers on the head and the internet provided this excerpt: (https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/f...0414-p0414.pdf)
rusty color (generally a shadeof orange or orange brown) of some of the feathers which are normally white isfrequently found in individual Snow Geese (Chen hyperborea), Blue Geese (Chencaerulescens) and Ross's Geese (Chen rossii), particularly on the head, as well as inswans of various species. It is generally believed that this color is due to a depositionof iron oxides on the feathers assumed to take place when birds feed in watercontaining these salts in solution rather than to true feather pigmentation.

Near wing position great. Far wing position not so much. Lovely light and clouds. And yes, the orange is stains that they get when feeding.
