That, my friends, is a Common Goldeneye - my first! And it is a male.
The females are brown-headed, have darker bodies, and don't have the white patch on their face. In fact, I am pretty sure that is a female on the right, in the foreground.
As for the fellow in the back, I can't make a positive ID on him. He has a different color scheme (note the black chest that runs down to the water line with no white on his neck) and is bigger than the other two. I'm guessing he is a canvas back.
