Woody brown (ferruginous means rust-red), black and white with a gray bill. Butt is white, but also a part of the belly not seen when it's in water. Tall head reminds me of a Kolbenente/Red-crested pochard, but is pure brown.
Etymologie:
The scientific name is derived from Greek aithuia an unidentified seabird mentioned by authors including Hesychius and Aristotle, and nyrok, the Russian name for a duck. [Link]
