Observation details
Female, probably also Mexican Duck, but not associating directly with the male. Dark overall with strongly patterned upper and lower parts, all generally the same dark tone, sharply contrasting with face, dull orange bill. Dark tail and undertail. Thin white borders to speculum appeared thinner than other Mallards. Overall very similar to male Mexican Duck present, but with pale orange bill. Spotted by Paul Lehman. Photos.
