Observation details

At first I thought this was a Eurasian Wigeon but closer looks at photos IDs this duck as a hybrid with American Wigeon; flank plumage is almost identical to AMWI; hybrid usually has a vertical demarcation contrasting between the rosy breast plumage and more gray back and flank plumage
