Observation details
On first appearance at this site presumed immature drake chestnut teal. This identification was reinforced when the birds head began to show some darker green feathers develope around the head before it left. However upon its return almost a year later it was in the exact same plumage as when it was first seen. Meaning it can't be an immature and must be a hybrid grey x chestnut teal.
