I believe this is a female Long-tailed Duck. Crop of a not so great shot, but I've never seen one of these before so I had to post it.. Seen on the Bow near the Douglasdale driving range. It was hanging out with a bunch of Goldeneyes and a couple of Buffleheads.
Taken in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

It's been too long, so I had to get out and throw a few pixels at something. This female Long-tailed Duck has been hanging out near the boat launch in Fish Creek Park for a while now, so I went looking for her. Not great shots, but she was pretty far out on the river.
