Merganser -- common or red-breasted (May 2009, Maryland)? (1 Viewer)

As I confirmed the sighting of some common mergansers today, I went through some of my old photos, and not quite sure about these.

The picture was captured on 5/13/2009 at Great Falls, Maryland.

I tend to think they are red-breasted, what do you think?
TIA!

I know there are slight differences between your Common Merganser and our Goosander but these look more like them than Red-breasteds.
