Duck ID

[Goldeneye]

Take a look at these pictures for waterfowl ID.  It should help.

Another good thing is to try not to shoot at the duck until you see color or at least enough body/wing features to identify it.  Try not to get in a rush.  That's when mistakes happen on birds with restricted limits such as pintails, hen mallards, scaup etc.
