Observation details

Originally found and reported by Bryant Olsen. From what I have read about these intergrades this is a mostly Mexican Mallard with less typical Mallard in it. I debated not calling it an intergrade since it is mostly Mexican but since there is at least some typical mallard in it I can conservatively call it a mix. No neck ring, very dark below with very little if any orange in the breast. There is a slight curve to the tail feathers that in a typical mallard would look like a curly Q.
