I think these pictures that I took this morning confirm the Greater Scaup reported by Jim Nelson at the Doubletree pond in Colorado Springs.
 
Male Greater Scaup
 
Female Greater Scaup (in center of picture)
 
Male Greater Scaup (right side of picture, Lesser Scaup in center)
 
Any comments would be appreciated, the correct ID of these ducks is challenging!.
 
Thanks

I'm pretty sure this bird on the right, is a ? Scaup x Ring-necked Duck hybrid with a Lesser Scaup on the left.
