Mergellus albellus
Unfortunately I couldn't spot a male anywhere. In picture number two she is accompanied by a male Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula).

Thanks Stain and Satyen.
Nice pictures Tony!
I understand. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful pic.
@Emma: don't forget the size, it's almost half the size of the common merganser.
The female looks very similar to a common merganser except for the difference in hair color and beak.
Thank you Satyen! Me too, the only reason I didn't post it as the firts is because it is a bit blurry.
Loved the last shot.
Thank you Coconut, you can see the exact spotting site on the map.
Wow so cool!!!!! Where did you spot it?
