Green Winged Teal

Thanks Kalee, Thanks Fyn

This is the Green winged teal also known as Eurasian teal.
BTW nice spotting.

Incase it helps, there are some more pictures to this sighting

I guess they could be considered as the same species for now. so Fyn you may be correct

It was supposed to be a subspecies of A.crecca. It says its sometimes still considered as one. I'm not sure

Kalee, A. crecca has not been accepted as a separate species at present... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-winge...

Green winged teals are not found in India, only in North america

Thanks Fyn! I'm so glad all of you are helping me Id the birds sighted today.

You are correct.
