CommentThis female brown-billed duck is a Blue-billed Duck. There is possible confusion with Freckled Duck and Musk Duck. Note that the female Blue-billed Duck looks dark brown compared with the light grey of the female Freckled Duck and the overall grey look of the female Musk Duck. One key is to study the bill which is broad and flat compared to the fine bill of the Freckled duck and the solid looking chunky bill of the Musk Duck. Note also that the Blue-billed Duck has a rather short, broad chunky body look compared with the longer and more stream-lined looking Freckled and Musk Ducks.
