Observation details

Female! Interesting bird. Large shoveler bill (rather “dirty” looking; smudged, perhaps indicating Mallard genes) and lighter brown than Mallard in back and flanks, but with two faded white bars around a blue wing patch, and a more cinnamon front. Many photos to be uploaded later.
