Observation details
From the distance observed (approx 0.6 mile via scope) this merganser species had a more whispy profile of feathers on crest of head versus 'shaggy' mane profile of COMEs. Grayer throat (lack of white) and no defined division of head to neck as compared with COMEs. This species not unusual per se for this location at this time of year. as recently fledged young seen three years ago nearby this same area, so unsure if this grouping were migrants or summer individuals. RBMEs were seen from this location nearly three weeks earlier (they were offshore the north side of Hog Island). Clip from video/scope setup:
