Wigeon hen or eclipse wigeon drake.  I would just have to see a few more pics of the head and belly.  :tup:  Leaning towards a hen.

It has some drake feathers on its back and has black  feathers coming in around its tail. Also, the wing patches are bigger than any hen ive ever shot.

Immature Drake Widgeon.  Look at the head.  The kind of spotty speckly pattern is indicative of a widgeon.  The black tail and grey feet point to widgeon as well.  The last thing is the speculum.  Solid black is widgeon.  A gadwall will have a chocolate brown speculem.
