Hotspur said:The second is definitely a hybrid- you can see the combination of patterns on the head- the first looks pure but i have a nagging suspicion about it but cant put my finger on why- considering how many thousands of Eurasian Wigeon ive scanned this winter looking for the American variety

My mistake when i posted I didnt releize they were different sorry. I looked at Flickr for Eurasian Wigeon at ALL of them and wow you might change your mind maybe about the hybrid maybe not.Farnboro John said:I agree the second is a hybrid, the first looks OK to me. Can the finder please explain how he photographed two obviously different birds and presented them initially as one?
