Having looked at the very poor record shots, later last night, the male Scaup type bird shows a purple sheen to its head ( not green ) and slightly to much black on its bill tip. Also head shape is incorrect. I would say its more then likely a Tufted x Pochard hybrid. Although very difficult at such range. David |
