Observation details
Seen in large wigeon flock, probably an adult male. Has head shape of Gadwall (with contrasting buffy forehead) but bill similar to Wigeon, has patch of white next to black rump (less obvious than AMWI), front of side somewhat brown but side also has some vermiculations like male Gadwall. Call like that of Gadwall. Seems to be first record of this hybrid in eBird for Pima county.
