Snow Goose - Blue or Intermediate ID needed

Just got this mount back, one of the first snows I've shot and was told it was a good one.
Trying to understand the snow goose phases and whether this is a true blue, or an intermediate...or maybe a juvenile??
I'm very happy with it, we call him Earl...just trying to understand the hierarchy and whether it's a really good specimen or just guide talk.
TIA
Ps the leg jewlery is an inside joke add on.

Those are referred to as an 'eagle head'
between the blue juvenile phase and the mature white phase
great looking bird

That is a lesser snow goose (e skycarpedus) in blue morph stage.

Eagle head is the final stage for a blue morph snow goose. They don’t turn all white

thx bro, yep thats what we call em too
I had always heard its almost like a molt, but been reading where its a gene and blues stay blue, white stay white save for juveniles of both which are brownish with brown bill
in between a true blue and a white are different variations of "intermediate"
Have never heard this before until now, figured some ol goose slaya's will learn me right
