Ducks for ID please

Sorry they were a bit far away and I couldn't get any closer. Have put some letters on one of the photos to help.

I think A is a female mallard and B is a male mallard after that I'm not sure.
So over to you guys

well i can't see the letters, but the black and white ducks look like tufted ducks to me...

Here goes:

C = female tufted

D = male tufted

E = female tufted.

I think!

A = Female Mallard
B = Drake Mallard
C = Female Tufted Duck
D = Drake Tufted Duck
E = Female Tufted Duck

Would be my guess

I'm afraid no letters show for me but they are mostly Tufted Ducks with a pair of Mallard in the background on the 2nd photo.

I agree with Ferret's ID's.

The letters are hard to see but if you look hard enough you can just about make out small red Capital letters above 5 ducks.

Thanks folks.

I thought they might be tufted duck but I wasn't sure.
There were also coots on the same dam. The only ones to come close were mallards! and some rather large vocal farm geese! Gave them a wide berth!

Sorry if you cannot see the letters I'll try a different colour or make bigger if I do it again.
