<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="bucephala-albeola-fossilis"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Bucephala albeola fossilis is an extinct subspecies of the bufflehead duck, a small diving waterfowl in the family Anatidae. Known from Pleistocene fossil material from the United States, it closely resembles the living bufflehead (Bucephala albeola) but is recognized as a distinct fossil form. It foraged on aquatic invertebrates and plant matter in freshwater environments of North America.

Bucephala albeola fossilis was a plant-eating dinosaur. Herbivores typically fed on ferns, cycads, conifers, and other vegetation available during their era. Many herbivorous dinosaurs developed specialized teeth and digestive systems for processing tough plant material.
