Observation details

Baer's Pochard like drake, but showing multiple signs of introgression, likely with Common Pochard : restricted white on the fore flanks with vermiculations, brown wash on the crown and around the bill base (eclipse Baer's drakes also show brownish wash on the green head but that shouldn't be the case in late winter), pale yellowish eyes (white on Baer's drake). This bird was assessed a Common x Baer's Pochard hybrid by local birding community.
