Observation details
Duck. Hanging around with LESC and GRSC to which is was structurally quite similar. Dark, almost black head, face, throat, neck and back. Chest also dark, but with some rusty tones. At the back of the top of the head, a tuft of wayward feathers stuck out giving the appearance of a "bad hair day". Flanks a mottled gray-brown color. While preening, bright white seen in the wings. In flight, the angle was bad, but again, bright white was noted in the secondaries. Eye gold/yellow. Bill flat gray with a black tip. No pale feathering seen around the face near the bill.
