Brewer's duck (Anas breweri)

Brewer's duck is an uncommon, intergeneric hybrid between mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) x gadwall (Mareca strepera). It was actually described and named by Audubon.

I've brightened it a little as the light was so bad but other than that, this is a true image.

What an odd looking duck this is Graham! I see he doesn't have the curly tail feathers.

That's a temendous picture you've taken of him too. Very well done laddie.
