Sure this bird has many features consistent with a Fudge Duck but as you know Aythya ducks are a real headache because of hybridisation.Without better images of the bill,upper and under wing in flight, birds like this one  remain unfortunately unidentifiable.
From here the head shape on the first image looks a bit odd for a pure Ferruginous(accepting that photos can be deceptive).
