Female Scaup? Ottawa, ON (1 Viewer)

Gillian_M

Birding since 2006!
This one is another diving duck, though I'm not sure if it is a scaup or not.

Any thoughts? (Thanks again!)

I'd go for eclipse male judging by the head color of photo three. The bill width, head shape and head color all point to Greater Scaup.
