Observation details
Photos; larger than Green-winged Teal, smaller than Gadwalls and N. Shoveler in the same pool. Female plumage with all dark bill; blue and white in speculum; mud on belly and cheek; small spot in front of bill. Due to overlap in field characters between female Blue-winged and Cinnamon, bird is either species or possible hybrid between the two. Given the date, a first year male of either species or hybrid can be eliminated. Expert Tony Leukering suggested that we change the listing to GWTE/CITE as certainly GWTE can be eliminated. He also suggested it looked more like a BWTE than CITE but agreed exact identification could not be made.
