What bird is this

[Sinker]

Widgeon ?

See what I mean.......

That's pretty sneaky.

I'd bet 99% of duck hunters would get it wrong.

I have lots of wind ID photos, but again, 99% of guys here would get them wrong.

To be honest, I would guess GWT if you showed me that picture! I think Steve D. might be the only 1% who would notice. I just wanted to put up a challenging one.

We could just take it to extremes with a bunch of exotic species, but I feel this one is warranted since it does get harvested in N.A.

Technically, so do these:

Green wing teal ? go easy , I don't hunt ducks yet lol

Yes, sort of. Its a hybrid GWT.

Sorta. When we get into the hybrid game, that's when shoot gets real!

Any guess of GWT is not a bad one, that's for sure. Especially for a new duck hunter.

[Hunter John]

No fair with the hybrids lol. The black and white one is a tufted duck.

[Dead Ringer]

The teal are not necessarily hybrid, they are a different sub-species.

Good catch on the tufted duck! I tried to pick one that didn't show the tuft too prominently.

I guess this means you're up to post a pic...

Hints: "DR, looks like you may have taken a trip to EURope and ASIA recently"

I believe bird #2 is a Eurasion Widgeon. Bird #3 looks like a Redhead, however, given the theme of this thread I believe I could be wrong.

[Hunter John]

I thought redhead as well but not sure of the eye color.
