At first glance its a 'Smew' but closer inspection ...'Red crested Pochard' normaly from water fowl collections or a visitor to the east coast. Strange if it is!!!
I stand corrected as there are surely better naturlists than I.

Apparently, it's a White Cheeked Pintail, resident of Argentina.

Thank you for finding out, my knowledge is rather limited and that adds to it.
How did you find out?
