    Garganey on Orkney Islands, Scotland

    Female Mallards and Garganeys do like a bit similar, apart from the size. It's worth comparing the different flank patterns on the first and third photos. Lots of solid dark wedges on the first and thinner chevrons on the third.

    It has orange on it, if that's what you mean. At the base and along the bottom. It's a pretty normal looking female Mallard.

    The third picture looks like a female Mallard and I would guess that at this time of year the duckling is a Mallard too.
