Hello Les,
It's a Long tailed Duck. They came in a huge variety of coloration and patterns (but all give a 'harlequin Impression', hope that's helpful) but please note white triangular patch around the eye and stubby bill.

In your last picture is a Pink footed Goose (not so large bill with pinkish band and greyish wash to the upperparts, including the greater coverts), a Shellduck and a Common Teal, nearly IDable by broad white stripe under the tail
