Description
Taken on the same day but from the opposite side as my last photo, here we see two Mottled ducks sauntering along past the female Anhinga. They seem to have their beaks up with an air of superiority as if to say, "I'm sure glad we have oil in our feathers so that we don't look like THAT!" :)
Have a great week everyone!

MOTTLED DUCK
(Anas fulvigula)
Identification Tips:
Length: 15 inches
Sexes similar
Large dabbling duck
Yellow bill
Pale buff brown head
Darker brown cap and eye line
Mottled dark brown and buff back and upperwing coverts
Blue-green speculum with white bar along trailing edge
Similar species:
American Black Duck is similar with broader brown edgings to upperparts and a bluer speculum. Female, immature and eclipse male Mallards always have blue speculums with white borders to both the front and rear margins. Beware of hybrid Mallard x Black Ducks that are usually paler than Black Ducks, with blue speculums and usually with white borders on one or both edges of the speculum.
