Looks good on plumage, but that's an extraordinarily long bill it has :eek!:
Or has it got a small head?:-O

That would be a big bill even for Blue-winged Teal.

You can see emerging black- and white vermiculated feathers on the lower back, also note the yellow/black pattern emerging on the undertail, as well as the small chestnut brown specks near the base of the bill.
As opposed to Mallard and Gadwall, Teal normally doesn't finish the moult into breeding plumage until the December, even January, so in early October most males aren't very easy to sex in the field.
