Re: [Help] Another Bird ID
This is a male Gadwall. I suspect that he is molting into his breeding plummage, as he has a bit of a mixture of breeding/non-breeding characteristics. Still, they are a very plain bird at all times of the year, and I am sure are commonly confused for the female of another species. The keys for me are the fine patterning on the sides and front, as well as the black tail region. The males get the black bill for the breeding season.
