Some clean up shots from Feb/Mar in north Texas.
I think female Ring Necked Ducks: Dark caps, under-wings grayish

Not really sure maybe Scaup??

Birds on left. Seem completely black with white spot on back , bill looks blue not white. Colors could be off due to long shot then maybe Coot.

Thanks for help.

I don't think the first shot are Gadwalls, they would need to have white secondaries on top of wing and there should be some rufous coloring on top of wing also.

The second shot I was also going with RN Drake but wings seemed too white for Sibley's.
