Lesser (or Greater ?) Scaup Duck Triplet

A triplet of diver ducks were hanging out near the river. I'm not sure if these are Greater or Lesser Scaups? Maybe someone can chime in on the identification.
The day was cloudy, and so less than ideal for flight shots. I kept the shutter speed low to avoid pushing ISO higher than 800. BG is an eroded hill with various layers of sand and some leaf-less trees.
Processed first through DPP 4 (Noise, Chrominance, Lens adjustments, exposure), and final editing in Photoshop (~20% cropped out, levels, resize, sharpening)
Critiques are welcomed and wanted. Thanks for looking.
Setup:
