Northern Pintail

Anas acuta

Description:

It is all shades of grey but mostly light grey. He is darker at the head and he has a blue beak. Thanks to Gina, I found a duck that has the same features but is smaller. If anyone knows of another please let me know!

I agree with you, when I searched it the pictures looked like the right one, except they were much smaller than this guy. He was bigger than all the of mallards there. I think i'll put him as northern pintail, but I'll keep an eye open.
Thanks lots Gina!!
