Cool.

I will have to agree with wingman on this, cool bird. Ain't sure what it is thou, but I would definately have it on the wall.

WALLHANGER!

congratulations and thanks for letting us see the pic.

Kinda has a few Pintail features too.

Cool duck!

Pintail/Mallard cross..........killed one just like it in KY in the early 80's.

If you notice above the speculum it has gadwall colors (brown)... and the plumage looks gaddy but the actual speculum looks pintail and the tail... bill black on top and head had brown stripe on top also... whatever it is ,it's in the freezer

Maybe it was a threesome.

Definitely not a pintail mallard...The bill on a pin is dominant and that is not a pintail bill...I would say MADWALL

It has a sprig too, any chance of a threesome? haha

Upon closer inspection, the stripe down the bill is very pintail-like, as are the pin feathers in the tail.

The speculum does have the reddish coloration that the drake gadwall has, but the green feathers look pintailish.

I would say the feathers on the back near the front look really like gadwall feathers.

Interesting bird to say the least.

I just don't see the pintail in that bird, I see the little sprig on the tail but thats bout it, and if you straightened out a mallards curls they'd be bout that long...I think madwall.......but it would be going on the wall fo sho......

nice waders

Cool. I'd call it a Tiger Woods duck. I'm surprised you caught him--must have had a torn ACL
