The ring-necked duck (Aythya collaris) is a diving duck from North America commonly found in freshwater ponds and lakes.[2] The scientific name is derived from Greek aithuia, an unidentified seabird mentioned by authors including Hesychius and Aristotle, and Latin collaris, "of the neck" from collum, "neck".[3]
