Comparisons: -Unlike mallard that has orange bill and white tail feathers, this duck does not. - Overall lighter than black duck and has black at base of bill that black duck does not. - Smaller, narrower bill than Nothern Shoveler and does not have lighter belly of the shoveler. - Not boisterous and does not have bright pink bill as with black-bellied whistling duck.
