Charlie Spencer Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) I -think- the first bird is male Mottled, along with the background bird in the second photo. The bills are more yellow-orange than orange, the tail feathers don't curl, and there's no white on the tail or speculum bars. I'll pass on the foreground duck in the second photo. The bill colors could be female Mallard, and I can't see the tail or wings. That will give others something to play with.
