OK, I'm stumped. I'm not above seeing myself as a dedicated, knowledgable and hardcore waterfowl hunter, but pic #2 has me scratching my head. My best guess is wigeon X canvasback/ringnecked/mallard hybrid. I've killed plenty of mallard X black duck and a few other hybrids with wig/pintail/other but your bird there has me perplexed. Help me out here, please!

Redhead with some fading and an eye that either looks more red than it should because of the lighting … or because it was what he had on his table when he needed eyes.
