\"Tufted Duck,\" Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The adult female is brown with paler flanks, and is more easily confused with other diving ducks. In particular, some have white around the bill base which resembles the scaup species, although the white is never as extensive as in those ducks. The females\' call is a harsh, growling \"karr\", mostly given in flight.
