Nobody would mistake a woodie drake for a hen. Other than size and body shape, they don't look alike at all if you can see the coloring. We shoot a lot of woodies on my club in California, and that green head, speckled golden chest and colorful body can't be mistaken for anything else. One tip on ID'ing woodies on the wing, is they look almost like a wigeon, but havea squared tail rathen than pointed tail. Another is that they often fly like teal, but are the size of wigeon.

Can't wait for our opener, October 18th. Going up to put the boat in the water, finish dressing the blindsand set out decoys this Saturday.
