Where is the white ring on the bill? And the white at base of Bill. And back too dark, 'forehead' slopes too much.

Scaup
Here is a link to it on All About Birds. Look down a bit to eliminate the Ring-necked Duck. See the whale on its side? It is a way to make an accurate id. Ring-necked male ducks have that whale on their sides.

Not a Shoveler. I am thinking it is Scaup male, moving toward full breeding colors. I first thought Greater Scaup due to head shape, but I do see a purple shine on the head and that may mean a Lesser Scaup.

Anyone agree?

Greater Scaup to me.
