Looks like a girl to me or possibly a male in eclipse plumage. It’s fabulous whatever it is. Great capture.

@susiemc I'm almost certain it's an adult female, the bill is quite bright and I can't see the black/white stripe between bill & eye which would denote juvenile. One thing is definite, it's not a boy!
Thanks, Sue,

@susie1205 @koalagardens @joev Gorgeous birdie, isn't it? There are about 50 on the University West campus lake could be more on campus East too.
