Rich Stanton Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Seen in Boone County Missouri on October 23, 2022. I took the warm tones and clean break to a white belly, plus unusual bill patterning and weak wing markings to mean this bird might be unusual, but perhaps it's just a Gadwall. Thoughts?

Birds are cool Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Looks like some sort of hybrid, I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What features point you to the hybrid possibility? I’m having trouble finding any spots that seem out of place for Gadwall 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
