This photo was taken at a great distance and then enlarged further, so it is somewhat grainy. However you can see the multicolored bill (white and red), red eye and part of the white chin strap. This is a male Wood Duck in eclipse plumage (nonbreeding plumage). This is the plumage when it molts from its very colorful breeding plumage. The eyes, bill and chin strap do not change, but the rest of the Wood Duck becomes very subdued.
