JackieL Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Taken last July in Orlando FL. I had it labeled as a Mottled Duck but now I'm having second thoughts. Thanks in advance for all help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Humboldt Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The eyeline is very long and the tail coverts too black for it to be pure Mottled Duck. It has to have some Mallard genes in its ancestry. I don't know if the white spot on its chest is feather, trash, or artifact. If it is white feathers there might be some domestic Mallard genes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
