Welcome to the forum, Brian. Looking forward to more news from Strongstry.
Re your Pintail - are you sure about it? Iit seems an odd time for an eclipse male - usually in eclipse in autumn.

Hi Jim,thanks for the welcome,regarding the pitail,i put the scope on it,as i thought it might be a hybrid,definate male,according to bruce and campbel]oxford university press]this could be a first winter male comeing into breeding colours ?.Perhaps in retrospect eclipse was the wrong terminology,thanks brian
