OK, from what I can tell from further research and people's comments, this 
is a female Redhead.  It can be distinguished from the female ringneck by 
the round head (ringneck has a peaked head), the same color on crown as 
rest of the head (ringneck has a darker cap), and the lack of a lighter 
"spur" on the side, very obvious on the male ringneck, less obvious but 
still present on the female ringneck.  The white on the face is similar to 
the ringneck, which is what confused me to begin with.  Apparently, this is 
not unusual for a Redhead, although not all of them have the white on the 
face.  The head shape and coloring is similar to the female Canvasback, as 
shown in the picture.

If anyone has any more distinguishing details, feel free to chime in.
