Red Shoveler (Spatula platalea) + Duck ID

Do note that this image was taken on November 10th, 2025 at the Palm Beach Zoo in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA.
Nice photo. The other bird in the exhibit with the Red Shoveler looks like a female Rosy-billed Pochard (Netta peposaca). If not that species, then she might be a female Redhead (Aythya americana) - the females of these two species look similar but their natural ranges do not overlap and the Redhead has a shorter tail than the Rosy-billed Pochard.
