Check that......Mallard/Widgeon??

It is a hyrid of Mallard / Gadwall ,which is known as a Brewers Duck.
In form and proportions this bird is very nearly allied to the Mallard, from which it differs in having the bill considerably narrower, in wanting the recurved feathers of the tail, in having the feet dull yellow in place of orange-red, the speculum more green and duller, without the white bands of that bird, and in the large patch of light red on the side of the head. It may possibly be an accidental variety, or a hybrid between that bird and some other species, perhaps the Gadwall, to which also it bears a great resemblance.

Yep, think you guys are right...definitely looks like a brewers duck to me....After googling it, seems like it was first documented after one was shot in Lake Barataria in 1822, and the bird was named after an orinthologist.

We shot a blue winged teal crossed with a pintail this year. Had a blue wing breast, almost all white head, and pintail wings. It was pretty bad a s s.
