Female Green Wing Teals do not show much green at all only on their wing a little. I know ducks because I shoot them every fall here in Michigan. I hunt ducks and you need to know what your shooting at. ;)
would love to see the flash of green!
No usually female mallards you can see the bars on the wings also it doesn't have the yellowinsh bill. So yes it is a teal of some sort.
Could be mistaken for a female mallard?
Nice spotting.
How large would you say this duck was? I could see it as a Green- or Blue-winged Teal hen, but without an unobstructed view of the rump or face, it will be hard to tell.
