Ducks at this time of year can be confusing. The bird in the foreground is a juvenile male Northern Pintail moulting into adult breeding plumage. You can see that it is gaining the chocolate-brown head colouration typical of drake Northern Pintail. The bird behind the male is female Northern Pintail.
