He doesn't look at all grey!! (Anas gracilis)

I still remain a little puzzled as to why he's call Grey Teal. Guess someone knows though LOL.

He was on the same lake as the Chestnut Teal I showed you the other day... unlike that one this Grey Teal sighting was my first of the trip, though I was now to see many more. I think they're quite sweet and gentle looking.

They are a much colder shade of brown than brown or cinnamon teals. I'm ok with that shade being called "grey" by comparison. I'm sure it's not meant as an insult to these beauties ;)
