Looks like a female common merganser to me. According to my 1980 edition of the Peterson Field Guide (time to update) the common merganser is differentiated by sharply defined white chin and white chest areas. I recently took some photos of red-breasted mergansers that I will post up tonight.

C&C always welcome, editing allowed
