Mystery photo Quiz-

Winter Long-tailed Duck is my first guess

Hahaha... my thought was Eider too, but not sure of the purple looking band on the right side, so then I stuck it in google lens....and it came up with...... Orca!!

Ahh, I did think Eider but talked myself out of it - then thought something in the Auk family but wasn't sure how they sit in the water

Long-tailed duck for me too.

Well on my first look, at the head colour and marking, Osprey! Until I read other replies and saw the purple markings and the fact it was sitting in the water, does look like an Osprey head though, yes!!

Germain scores!!!!
