Waterfowl ID, Iran _ low quality pic. (1 Viewer)

Please help me for ID these Ducks. I saw them last week in the South of Caspian Sea. Although wintering migratory birds are left the area these ducks still remained. Unfortunately, pictures are out of focus and I hope someone can ID them. IMO Eurasian Wigeon, Northern Shoveler and less possibly Gadwall are possibilities.

These look like Gadwall to me.

Gadwall indeed.

Thank you all for ID.
The white speculum size and place is more similar to Gadwall but I was wondering about the neck size which is longer. I saw more Gadwall pictures and you are right.

Cheers
