dpinkerton Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Seen in Duck, NC last week. I first thought this was a no brainer Blue-winged Teal but there is no broken eye ring. Is this a Green-winged then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpoole Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I think juvenile Green-winged Teal. I am not an expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Bill shape looks bigger, like a Blue-winged Teal not like a Green-winged Teal to me. I'd say Blue-winged 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpoole Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I'd default to @AlexHenry. The bill sure looks like a Blue-winged. The lack of a pale spot at the base of the bill threw me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Blue-winged Teal. Green-winged would show buffy triangles underneath the tail. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
