MountainBirder Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hi all, This is not my pic but I found a report of a Blue-winged Teal from winter in Wyoming (very unusual) which had been accepted. However, the speculum pattern and pale mark near the tail should eliminate Blue-winged Teal. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Tanager 101 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 At least the face pattern looks like Blue-winged Teal to me......I would probably have gone with Blue-winged Teal if I had seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 GISS is also wring for Mallard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainBirder Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Thanks for the input, and I apologize for not clarifying earlier that I think the pale strip on the tail suggests female Green-winged Teal rather than Blue-winged Teal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee the white area by the tail does suggest GWTE. I think it’s a GWTE, not BWTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The undertail stripe is white, not buffy. The face is a bit plainer than I would expect for BWTE, but ultimately I agree with BWTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I’m sorry, I got my wires crossed. Mixed up which species had which facial pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Definitely Green-winged and it's been tagged now, someone here? It wasn't me as I don't have that super power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
