I'm sure there is mallard in there. The size, green tint on the head and speculum look like mallard, but the blue bill and the feet are not right on that body.

of course, just make sure nobody sees you.

Good, I like to use every part of the birds I shoot.

[capt1972]

Seriously, I've shot identical birds. Pretty sure it's a black x mallard.


Thats a female black, but notice the bill. The feet can be green also.




















or its a coot

If I were you, I would mount it from behind.

My guess would be mallard x wood duck. Looking at the bill and coloration of the feet. Widgeon do not have black on the top of their bills only the tip.

[assateague]

Where you are, I'm more inclined to agree with FF- black mallard.

[3geese4me]

Would have been a real trophy next year...

[flight control]

Shit. I thought I had it pegged as mallard x wigeon. The feet lijook like a woody, wing and body looks like mallard to me, and where the hell is the blue bill from? Maybe it's not clear in the pics but the bill is really blue. I've heard duck hybrids are sterile, but could there be more than two species in there?

[assateague]

Well, never mind then. On my phone the bill looked greenish gray.

[banknote]

Some of these look a lot like your bird.

Captive mallard-woodie.

[flight control]

Yup. Thats what it is for sure, but I still don't get where the blue bill comes from. Jgun, I will never doubt your duck ID skills again. Banknote, thanks for posting those pics, I never would have believed without seeing that for myself. 50 points for each of you

[capt1972]

it's not of pure blood and now it's dead. good ridance!

Exactly. One duck closer to the final solution.

[aunt betty]

Blue billed ducks, wigeon, pintail, ???

[jehler]

Farm duck

[aunt betty]

I will try to figure out what kind of duck is in the op using ¨The LeMaster Method

So we start with the bill.
That bill screams pintail at me.

[aunt betty]

See?

[aunt betty]

Wings say no.
Now look at the immature drake. Sept.-Oct.

[aunt betty]

Now the feet. The foot says PINTAIL.

[aunt betty]

I'm going out on a limb and saying that op shot an immature DRAKE PINTAIL.
