Callonetta leucophrys
The Ringed Teal’s Latin name (callonetta lecophrysus) means beautiful duck. The Ringed Teal has green feathers and distinguishable white wings. The male Ringed Teal has a pink breast and a chestnut brown back. The female has a white face and an olive-brown back. Unusual for the duck family, Ringed Teals enjoy perching. Their long toes and strong claws make it easy for the birds to perch on tree branches.
Tropical and swampy forests, wooded lowlands
