Barrow's goldeneye (Bucephala islandica) is a medium-sized sea duck of the genus Bucephala, the goldeneyes.This bird was named after Sir John Barrow.The genus name is derived from Ancient Greek boukephalos, "bullheaded", from bous, "bull" and kephale, "head", a reference to the bulbous head shape of the bufflehead.
The genus Bucephala was introduced in 1858 by American naturalist Spencer Baird with the bufflehead as the type species. [1] [2] The genus name is derived from Ancient Greek βουκέφαλος bouképhalos, meaning ' bullheaded ', from boûs ' bull ', and kephalḗ, ' head ', a reference to the crest of the bufflehead making its head look large.
