That is a scaup also called a bluebill. It is mostly likely a lesser but the easiest way to tell is based on the wing

Immature lesser scaup aka blue bill - drake not a hen. Hens are dark brown with a patch of white on the face.

Thanks, was 99% sure it was a bluebill. Are they fish eaters?

Blue bill. Haven't seen one in a while. Been killing lots of ring necks though.
