Bufflehead / Bucephala albeola / 巨頭鵲鴨
Adult males Buffleheads are striking black and white, with a large white patch behind the eye. Perhaps their most striking feature is an iridescent head, which flashes green, blue and purple under the right light conditions.
The Bufflehead is native to the Americas, breeding in Alaska and Canada and migrating in winter to southern North America.
NOTE: This is NOT a wild bird; this image was captured at the WWT London Wetland Centre, which I visited while in London.
