This duck is called a Barrow’s goldeneye. It is a male of the species — the female having a more brownish head and lacking the white patch on the side of the face. You can’t really tell due to the limited depth of field, but that’s the Grand Teton mountain range in the background.

Superb in-flight shot. Great rendering of the dark feathered areas and no background burnout. Excellent.
Great shot Sean. Nice grab.
