Thanks for your kind comment. I think this is an immature male. I thought it was a female too but the coloured patch above the eye got me wondering. After reading articles and looking at images I concluded it is a young male, though I could be mistaken.

Great shot of this beautiful bufflehead with just a little bit of iridescence Jim, TFS!
