    It is really hard to tell what species this female is so I would rather identify the male Eurasian wigeon. Posted 10 years ago

    Based on the published phylogeny, the genus Anas was split into four monophyletic genera with five extant species moved into the resurrected genus Mareca.
    One of them is A.penelope.     Posted 6 years ago
