Canvasback will have a red eye, whereas the Redhead will have a golden eye. Also, Redhead will have a blue bill, black bill on the Canvasback.

Default Redheads
IMO the Redheads are more common. Actually this year we have a lot of them but no Cans yet.

Redheads can't resist decoys, suicide ducks.

Canvasback is a big heavy bird.

Yep, unfortunately for us the Redheads have been grouped up with Scaup. The complete opposite end of the table fare spectrum compared to Cans.
