Hybrid Duck - Greenwing Teal/Pintail
Pretty excited to have shot this duck and it will look great next to a Hybrid Mallard/Pintail I have. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1387297669.919797.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 |

And unless he has tiny hands like the guy on the Burger King commercial... That's a big teal

Nickt87, I get the pintail from comparing it to the numerous mature drake pintail we shot on same hunt. The feathers from the neck down match same pattern as pintail although he didn't have a sprig, just means the bird was in a juvenile stage.
The outfitters i hunted with in Oklahoma stated that they believed it was a mix of the two birds. They shoot 1000's of birds a yr so I trust them. Finally, I brought to my taxidermist who has been in the business for 40 years and has mounted over 20K ducks. He stated it was a hybrid of the two birds.. Guess I just trust his professional opinion & compared it to the markings of both species. Regardless of the real origin of the bird. I'd love for someone else to show a picture of a Greenwinged teal with similar facial markings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 |

I think it's a GWT/Old Squaw mix. Congratulations!

Will do! Thanks for the support. Here is the mallard/pintail I shot a few yrs back. It had 3 long green sprigs that curled not to mention its head! Ha, pretty sweet! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1387325309.728566.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1387325337.411463.jpg
