I'm going to say it's a young Eurasian teal. Very similar to your normal gwt.
Nice mount regardless. |

That is a great observation... Way better idea than a teal/woodcock/pintail mix.... Take away the painted blue beak and feet, and voila! young Eurasian Teal! |

Also, just to further satisfy the people who have never seen a hybrid in person and just wanted to say its a dressed up GWT. He has taken the bird to be viewed by his former professors and will get a final write up on it. I'll post their finding.... |

I should get an email back from LSU's Waterfowl expert later today. I will have no problem stating whatever he claims it to be. Whether its a hybrid or just a juvenile with unique plumage.

I've killed or been around thousands of green winged teal drakes in my life. Never killed or seen one that looks like that.
Let me know when one of yall kill a green wing teal that looks like that, and as far as a eurasian teal, that would be just as rare as a hybrid. There is hardly any distinction between the green wing teal and the eurasian green wing teal. The few eurasian teal that have been seen in the US have been in Oregon. It's clearly a green winged teal/pintail hybrid. Ask any reputable taxidermist that has been successful in the business for, lets say, 20+ years. Here is another one http://www.zoochat.com/1118/green-wi...intail-215126/ Steve German has probably the only mounted pair of pintail/greenwinged teal hybrids in the country, and the drake looks exactly like the one in this thread. Go take a look. |

Haha the bill doesn't have to blue for it to be a hybrid

Man I don't know how any of y'all can tell the color of that bill in the first pic on this thread. How does anyone know what color it was except the OP?
I too would trust Dr. Rowher's word. The man has studied waterfowl for many years, and definitely knows his stuff. |

It's a beautiful bird! You're a lucky man

How come you just don't put the mount next to another one to show how big it is?? Or is this your only duck mount?
Too me that would shut up the haters
