Need some help

Not sure what type of duck

 

[Aeon]

common golden eye, was a lot more of them in mex this year for some reason

It actually looks like it could be a BarrowsXcommon GE which would be pretty amazing if you don't see many goldeneye where you hunt.

What color was the head, the pic does not show it very well. Green or purple for the win. If you look at pics of eclipse commons its pretty close. The couple I got this year looked that way. Chalked it up to young birds

 

[SAM.410]

Purple

 

[SAM.410]

Purple

I posted another picture last year that looked totally different that this one and someone said that it was a golden eye

 

[Aeon]

its for sure a Goldeneye, the question is what flavor. its not a clean barrows or common. could be a juvenile or eclipse maybe. purple head is a barrows. as @Mud Pigeon said it could be a cross up. a clean barrows is a pretty bird!!!!

The other duck I posted was brown with a golden eyes. I’ll have to see if I can find the picture. I’ll try to find the pic on my computer

Here are a couple juvenile drake common goldeneye I shot. Heads are completely brown no green or purple iridescent.

Anyone know what type of duck this is? Saw it at Santee lakes on sat. My first thought was wow that's a big mallard then it got closer and I saw it had a black and white head. Looks like a domestic duck.

 

[ilovesprig]

Mutt duck......Basically a cross between a Peking (white) and mallard probably a few times over.....

So is this a scaup or a golden eye
