You can apply the features mentioned here Ferruginous Duck photo ID guide too. And please note the pale eye-ring and the paler area near the bill base, together with the paler chin resulting in a good head pattern for a Common Pochard.
And important for me you know: tfs this excellent close-up portrait Florian!
