Looks good to me, the horizontal white stripe and the creamy edging around the green on the head showing well enough in at least 2 of the photos.
Great find!

Lynda, the teal was in the canal on Friday and Saturday.

Hi Louis,
I mapped the coordinates. Was it on the stream or the gravel pit?
Thanks,

Linda Wentz and I believe we found the Common teal this morning. I posted 5 photos in eBird and in Idaho Rare Bird Sightings and Discussion Facebook page taken at great distance. Not great photos but hopefully adds to the evidence that this bird is indeed a common (Eurasian green-winged) teal:
