Observation details
Thought tufted at first, but white ring around bill was quite obvious when I zoomed in. Have pics. update: Turns out there is an ongoing debate among birders here whether this individual is Ring-necked, Scaup, or Tufted. I've left it as Ring-necked here since the rarity dot may get it extra controller attention. Looking forward to hearing from reviewer. NEW UPDATE: have now changed the observation to Aythya sp. Our regional reviewer has suggested it may be a hybrid. Awaiting further review. Regional reviewer is seeking advice from North American reviewers who are likely more familiar with some possible hybrids (Ring-necked X Scaup? Ring-necked X Tufted?)
