Mottled Duck (Anas fulvigula)

This is the male Mottled Duck that was the mate of the female I posted yesterday. Not the best photo, but I wanted to post the one that gave the best look at the male Mottled Ducks biggest fieldmark which is his "bright" yellow bill and the black spot on the tip of the gape.
