Observation details
Since I had such good views of this bird earlier today, I went back for my camera to try to document it with photos. But unfortunately it was now sleeping on the distant side of the platform. I did take photos that captured the only few seconds when the bird lifted its head and turned around. I think that they display how the bird stands out among the Blue-winged Teals (and Shovelers) because of its brighter underparts, which look pretty striking in comparison with the darker and more patterned Blue-winged Teals. It almost looks "plain" in comparison
