Nice photo's Chris. I would guess it's an immature male woody, but I'm not sure either.

That's a male wood duck with eclipse plumage. (what they look like in the non breeding season)

We usually have a wood duck visit our pond in the spring. Very nice looking. I may have to " steal" some of your photos, too!
