    Washington state may 24, gadwall or female cinnamon teal?

    Certainly not Gadwall. I think it looks okay for Cinnamon Teal. I'd expect a stronger face pattern on Blue-winged.

    First Butterflies 2024

    What's an American Teal? Presumably you mean Green-winged or Blue-winged as most likely vagrants?

    Mallard (I think)? American Black Duck? Hybrid?

    I don't think it's a hybrid. Looks like a drake Mallard with a slightly abnormal head pattern to me.

    Couple of ID's - Rainham Marshes RSPB 12/04/2024

    I don't see anything to suggest 2 is anything other than a Skylark, which are quite common at Rainham.

    Micro NEast London

    Definitely. Quite variable as many of this genus is, but this is quite a distinctive form I think.

    Unknown duck, a hybrid or an usual species for Europe

    Domestic Mallard x Muscovy Duck. Pink in bill, green hues & upturned rear end point to latter's parentage.

    I think that could well be Oak Tree Pug, but they are rather similar to Brindled.
