A Eurasian, North American, and New Zealand diving duck, the male of which has a black head with a green or purple gloss.

The lesser scaup is a lovely duck indeed, one that, on its own merits, should always be a pleasure to spy on a lake or stretch of sea coast....

There are mallards galore, the males with their metallic green heads and the females a dowdy brown, and busy little black scaups, bobbing like bath toys.
As the tiny sailor joined the rest of its crew, our eyes were drawn to a small raft of scaup.

Late 17th century: Scots variant of Scots and northern English scalp 'mussel-bed', a feeding ground of the duck.
