	Aythya hybrid from Long Island, New York (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Hybridization in the Aythya group of diving ducks is a complex and fascinating topic.
		Hybrids in female-type plumage are poorly understood and thus remain extremely difficult to identify.
		Andrew Middleton's web site includes a image of a similar looking drake Aythya hybrid (tufted x scaup?) photographed by Phil Vines in the Lea Valley, NE London, UK on on 4 Feb 2000.

	Rare Birds in Spain: Identification
		This impression was enhanced depending on light angle and in some cases the head appeared nearly fl.
		However, the pattern of the bill is wrong for that species (without subterminal band), the head is differently shaped, being more peaked, and the mantle is darker.
		La especie más similar es Aythya americana, aunque no presenta franja subterminal blanca en el pico, tiene la cabeza más en punta y el dorso parece ser más oscuro.

	B-Mail(sm): ID-FRONTIERS for March 1-9, 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Most duck do their courtship display on their wintering grounds, so a tufted duck/lesser scaup pairing could happen here in the wild and if I remeber correctly the male duck usually follwos the female to her breeding grounds.
		I half wonder if the "Lesser Scaup" isn't a throw back to ancestral aythya, given that so many combinations seem to generate birds of this type (see the Collins Guide for paintings of several combos).
		Records of Tufted Duck x Lesser Scaup hybrids, on the other hand, seem to be very scarce; the author found only two references to birds that were suspected to be of this hybrid combination, namely: - Peterjohn, B. (1989): Description of a probable Tufted Duck x Lesser Scaup hybrid.

	Galloanserae: A Critical Examination - EvoWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In ducks and their allies the articular surfaces on the parasphenoid are distinct, pedicellate and ovoid structures while in Galliformes they are far more indistinct and are not as markedly set off from the parasphenoid rostrum.
		Dissection of embryonic duck (Aythya spp.) and chick (Gallus gallus) to determine the morphogenesis of the parasphenoid articular surfaces in both Anseriformes and Galliformes, strongly corroborated the hypothesis that these structures are not homologous across these taxa (Olson and Feduccia 1980b).
		In Anseriformes the parasphenoid articular surfaces arise as de novo cartilaginous condensations that only late in ontogeny fuse to the parasphenoid while displaying no medial contact.

	Tufted duck - Aythya fuligula - ARKive
		The specific scientific name, fuligula may derive from the Latin word fuligo meaning soot, and drakes have glossy fl plumage on their head, breast and back.
		In contrast, the side and belly have a conspicuous white band but despite this distinctive uniform, tufted ducks can be mistaken for other species such as scaup Aythya marila and the vagrant ring-necked duck Aythya collaris from North America.
		Like the tufted duck, these birds also have a grey bill with a fl tip.

	M. R. Ducks (Ring-necked Ducks, Aythya collaris) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Frankly, we're tickled just to have these ducks on
		The Ring-necked Duck, Aythya collaris, takes its name from an obscure collar around the base of the male's neck, but we've always believed it should have been called "Ring-BILLED Duck" because of the white bands near the tip and base of an otherwise-blue bill sported by the male.
		The drake has an orange eye and an iridescent purplish head that often looks fl, a dark metallic-green breast, a dark back, and a vertical white "crescent moon" on each grayish-colored side.
