Observation details
***rare. Cool apparent molting hybrid male courtesy of Andy. Hanging out on the duck pond. Overall very rufous Wigeon with a few flank feathers peaking through. Pink flank feathers seemed to go further than one would expect on pure EUWI, past the neck line, with some stripey feathers mixed in. Head also had more dots and overall paleness on cheek than pure EUWI, giving it a masked look. Life hybrid! Probably good to re-eval the zoo bird
