Observation details
An adult male seen in the company of several American Wigeons. Identical in size and structure. Cold gray flanks and upperparts, white belly and rosy-colored breast with some rosy coloration bleeding into lower flanks. Head brick read with golden crown and forehead. Blue bill with black commissure. Black tail contrasting sharply against the white lower belly/vent. Striking black in the primaries complimented the gray upperparts nicely. The bird was not there this afternoon, but it may be hanging out in the area, so it pays to sift through any significant group (4+) of American Wigeons.
