Observation details
Went back for additional photos with camera with a focus on open wing shots of speculum. Thin white border at the base, with no white on upper side of speculum. Consistent with mottled. Close up of slight curling to two of the central tail feathers also included. Distant ancestral mallard genes at work? Or just natural variation? Or maybe some excessive use of curling iron? Otherwise seems solid for a pure mottled duck. Overall darker tones seem to point towards Gulf Coast race potentially? State second record, county first.
