What kinda duck is this?

Postby greenheadgrimreaper » Mon Jan 12, 2015 9:35 pm

Guy killed it in a slough that is fairly open. It's definitely got some ruddy duck in it? The bill though...do specklebellies hump ducks?

Canvasback bill?

The speculum feathers look like a ruddy or definitely a diver by their lack of coloration...but it kinda has that pintail chocolate to it, and the white "stripe" acts like it wants to make its way into the chocolate head like a sprig.

Somebody got an idea?

I'm thinking kind of a sawbill, chocolate head, stripe going back, golden-ish eye, white speculum with white bleeding up into the wings but with a ruddy body= ruddy duck + merganser

I am interested in purchasing duck calls that were made by Mike McLemore. I am a family member and they have a sentimental value.

Why would I get over myself
Less of your bullshït rambling would be great actually
Get a waterfowl ID book and learn it before you buy a license next year or don't take pics of another bird so you look more like an idiot than you do already
