   Feeding duck appears to be Gadwall, (black rump). Duck in front has similar markings to a female Gadwall and a female Mallard. The female Gadwal has a white speculum (wing patch). The female Mallard has a blue speculum with a white trim and a white tail. Based on photo, I’d say female Mallard (white tail). Rest is hard to see., Dave
