Female. An unusual visitor this close to the coast and even resting. No other real sea-ducks present today. The rather restricted pale spots in the head should indicate and adult female rather than a young bird. Don't know enough about variation to verify this.

Dæmningen.
A single bird lying close to shore. Probably a young bird with velvet-dark plumage and moderate pale patches in the head.
