Hey

I found this picture in a forum some days ago. Do you agree that these are Greater scaups (aythya marila)? I am not sure

Hello :hi:

I do not agree. These ducks are goldeneyes (Bucephala clangula) ,I think? Look at the white fields of feathers which some birds show. Greater Scaups do not show these fields. Greater scaup's bills look slightly different,too.
