Oops. I think you're right.

For a moment I thought that second wigeon was a hen as well. It's hard to tell because sometimes they have a green stripe on the head.

Id say the first is a mallard Drake though, curls on the butt.

I agree, the shoveler has a little bit different color on the beak usually and it seems more pronounced than that.
