I saw this in a large lake in the Midlands where both Tufted Duck and Scaup have been spotted. I'm not sure which it is. Can anyone help?

Google lens seems to think scaup but is notoriously unreliable at times! Am sure others will let you know soon!

Thanks Wendy. I thought it was a scaup as it was by a small flock of tufted duck but keeping its distance. However I'm also notoriously unreliable at times with winter plumage, sea birds, juveniles, things like that.
