What kind of duck is this

[3seasons]

Took this pic on vacation and was not sure what it is. dont blast me to much for asking

[deltadukman]

First question....where were you vacationing?

[3seasons]

Orlando Florida,
Also I have a pic of what looks to me like a teal/spoonie cross with bands

[kris Schaumburg]

I'll bet the "hybrid" is a clipped australian shoveler, but bring on the pics just for kicks so someone can say I'm wrong.

I looked it up and that is a bird I would like to have on the wall. Ill post a pic when i get home but the one I have a pic of doesnt look like the Australian shoveler.

What about the one above?

Mottled duck but they usually have a greener tint to their speculum.. Maybe a second generation mottled mallard cross?

[tobydawg]

what time of year was the pic taken?

[LawDawg]

looks like a hen to me. but hey, what do I know?

And a mottled duck's speculum isn't bordered with white strips like a mallard's.

[deeksdown]

they will have a faint white tip on the speculum (i have killed 100's of them here in mobile and LA) but i didn't notice the white patch on the top the first time i looked at it...what it looks like to me is a mallard in its summer plumage... but if this is taken in the winter time i don't know... maybe some lack of plummage??

I killed a bird last week IDENTICAL to this one. Couldn't of been a black. Damn sure didn't look like a mallard. As far as a mottled goes it didn't resemble one. I don't really know what it was so I called it a unique mallard. Instead of hangin' out on the wall it is hangin' out in the septic tank.

I was thinking mallard at first but there were some other mallards feeding close to this duck and they didnt look anything alike. It has characteristics of a mallard, black, and mottled so i dont have a clue.

It was taken in July

Here is a couple pics of the other duck, guess it could be a hen australian shoveler but i cant find a good pic of one. What do yall think?

Mexican mallard is the best "guess" I got.
