This Duck was a diver, thought it might be a Ruddy but the white patch by the bill wont match up for me, thought it could also be a Scaup..not sure.

Yep, Ruddy Duck, female or juvenile.

Looks like your auto-contrast overdid the saturation badly!!

Thx Resin, yea sometimes the (auto contrast) on my photoshop hits it right on, and sometimes it kills the pic.
