The Canvasback (Aythya valisineria), historically known in the United States as a "Sheldrake", is a large diving duck, 48–60 cm long and weighing 1270 g.

The adult male has a black bill, a red head and neck, a black breast, red eyes and a whitish body. The adult female has a brown head and body and a black bill.
