A good rule of thumb on speculum coloration to distinguish Mallards from Mottled Ducks and Black Ducks is:


Mallard : 2 white stripes (top and bottom)
Mottled Duck: 1 white stripe (bottom)
Black Duck: 0 white stripes

Exactly, 100% correct, only way to distinquish between the three for true indentification.



If you kill a "true" black duck down here, consider it a trophy!
