Sugar Land Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I took this picture yesterday in Estero Llano Grande in South Texas. I first I thought there were mottled ducks but I can't see the black spot at the gape and there is some white in the speculum. Waiting for your responses Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 These look far too dark for Mexy Duck, and the face of the male is extensively buffy, despite the lack of a gape patch. Well up the RGV, Mexican x Mottleds are quite frequent. Perhaps some Mexy genes have made it downriver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a standard Mexican by any means. Edited February 27, 2021 by Hasan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
