This Common Goldeneye looks like a female but is a young male probably less than a year old. The characteristic white patch on his face just started to be visible. He has a much stronger and thicker beak compared to a female.
For more information about this specie please see my previous posts in this (I hope not very boring) series.

I posted in Workshop a picture with an adult in the background for comparation.
