C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.

I can confirm it isn't a merganser, looks like an aythya, tuftie or ferruginous for example.

Could be the angle of the head that's making the bill look short.

It is a Black-necked Grebe, the flanks are raised, which is probably what's throwing people.

Thank you all for your help. There were indeed lots od black-necked on the lake, but, as some of you noticed, this one had a particular stance and some puzzling colours.
