Baker has a softer look to his eyes, his body is more stream-lined looking, his feathers are more even brown colored & a bit darker than Bette’s, his front neckline has an inverted kind of V shape. Baker's beak has a more curved topline to it, Bette's topline of beak is straighter, with hook at end. Watch.this 'side by side' comparison - [ Ссылка ]
