 Diving duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The probably extinct Pink-headed Duck, previously listed as Rhodonessa caryophyllacea, has recently been shown by genetic analysis to be closely related to the Red-crested Pochard so has now been transferred to the same genus, as Netta caryophyllacea.
The Marbled Duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris) is difficult to classify, but is now most often also placed in the diving duck group.
Seaducks commonly found in coastal areas such as the Long-tailed Duck (formerly known in the US as Oldsquaw), scoters, goldeneyes and eiders are also sometimes colloquially referred to in North America as diving ducks because they also feed by diving.

In a comprehen- sive study of waterfowl osteology, Woolfenden (1961) recommended that the "perching ducks" (Tribe Cairinini, sensu Delacour and Mayr 1945, but exclusive of Plectropterus) be merged into the "dabbling ducks" (Tribe Anatini).
Johns- gard proposed to re-assign the Pink-headed Duck (Rhodonessa caryophyllacea; 1961a) and Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta [Anas] angustiros- tris; 1961c) to the pochards (Tribe Aythyini).
Although it is absent in most "allies" placed in other tribes (Sarkidiornis, Mer- ganetta, Malacorhynchus, Hymenolaimus, and Marmaronetta), it is suggested in several others (Plectropterus, Salvadorina, and Heteronetta).
