I posted this last night, but it seems to have unfortunately ended up deleted along with a huge batch of spam posts around the same time. So I'm trying this again. Spotted this whistling duck in Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray, and couldn't get a firm ID on it. It looked at first glance like a fulvous whistling duck, but the markings aren't quite right...I thought a possible immature black-bellied whistling duck, but again the colors seemed a bit bolder and more cinnamon/reddish, and the duck was quite large - full adult sized...I'd have thought a black-bellied would have started developing more of the pink on the bill and feet, whereas this one was firmly grey. So can anyone help confirm if this is a fulvous, a black-bellied, something else, or a hybrid?
