Tundra Swan - note off-white in front of eye, where yellow appears in adults

Directly in front of eye there is an off-white area. Some tan is visible, along with specs of white. Tan could be staining. White could be area where yellow appears in adult Tundra swans. I took hundreds of photos, and in this photo:
1. The top of the upper mandible looks flattest.
2. The top of the forehead looks flattest.

I'm open to suggestions and comments, via the BirdYak group hosted on Yahoo.
