Help me out, Marcello. I can't figure out how you decided that your scaup are Greater, rather than the much more likely Lesser. I can't see the upper side of the wings on any of the birds in your photo, so I can't tell how far the white wing stripe extends outward towards the wing tip. On Greater, it should extend closer to the wing tip than on Lesser.
