To be honest it may be the son of a mixed duck with another??

Like a pintail mallard/gadwall are the parents?? That may cause the dominant bill to go away??

On the wall for sure though

I think it's simply an imature drake! Ive killed several mallard/whatever crosses. this simply looks like a late born bird! Hasn't got all his colors yet.

Even immature birds don't have bills/wings that look like that.

Gadwall

I see pintail/mallard too.

Where can I get me some of them sharp looking waders?

A lot of green in the speculum, neither gadwall or mallard has a green speculum. Could be the angle of the pic, but the green speculum stands out.

I'm saying you got a pintail/mallard cross.

Does that count against your pintail limit, your mallard limit or both?

Brewer's Duck...sweet

It is a Brewer's Duck aka Mallard/Gadwall, but not the prototypical as many don't have a solid green head. The bill is a dead give-away though as Mallard/Pintails would show a blue stripe. Tertials also show Gadwall. Very nice bird.

Great pics, Mr. Pat.

So many variations in this hybrid. Interesting ID to say the least.
