No pigeons at Jamaica Pond, but at least one wigeon

This female American wigeon decided to hang with all the mallards on the north side of Jamaica Pond this afternoon, but acting a bit more skittish than her larger ducky friends. At one point, a bunch of them took off all of a sudden and she departed with them - before they all splashed down again about halfway down the pond.

You've got the bird right but the sex wrong
That's a male - easiest to tell from that clear white wing patch. This time of year male ducks look a little scruffy as they molt back into full breeding plumage.
