Went down to Port Credit after seeing post about an Eider ,am sure this the duck they meant ,was hanging with the mallards in the lagoon as the post stated.
99.9% sure though is a female canvasback ,but think might be bit hybrid as other female canvasbacks i've seen have more white at the back.
Could it be immature or hybrid with Redhead as they are more brown ,any ideas i'd love to hear.

It looks like a juvenile Canvasback to me. That bill is pretty distinctive.
