Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris). Yeah that's just what I said, "Where's the ring?". Well, if he were to extend his neck up you would see a faint lightening of the feathers at the base of his neck. Perhaps if we all just start calling him the Ring-billed Duck it will stick.

In any case he is a handsome bird. That brilliant orange eye simply draws your own eye to his.
