Help to identify this duck needed
Guys,
I can not positively identify (but think that it might be close to redhead some some mix...), this one so maybe some one else can help out. It was shot in Northern IL.
It got all gray wings -no colors, yellowish/light brown/gray belly, gray feet and gray (no lines)bill, gray head and green eyes.
Thank you

It's an female Ring Neck from the best I can tell. Notice the black tip on the bill and that most of the body is black/dark grey. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ring-necked_Duck/id . Its either that or a eclipse red head. But I am leaning towards the ring neck female.
