Duck ID needed

Harv

After photographing the 'Hoodie' at the Ganaraska in Port Hope this morning, I headed over to the Cobourg Harbour to see if any more divers had arrived. I'm happy to report that there are a number of Buffleheads as well as Longtails now here. I also saw a number of American Coots... at least 4 and possibly 5. We only had one here last year and I only saw one in the previous few days.

I could us some help with an ID on the duck below. The shot is not as good as I would like. It is a major crop from a handheld 500mm shot, in poor light. However, it's the best I could come up with and hopefully good enough for someone to ID it.



Thanks for looking.

That is definately a Wigeon drake. I posted some on here about a week or so ago.
