Подробности наблюдения
Reporting this hybrid because of combination of MALL features (curled tail, bill size and shape, orange legs, green head, cinnamon-brown breast, and gray flanks) and AMWI features (pinkish-brown scapulars, powder-blue bill with black nail, sharply-delineated white flank patch). Closely associating with AMWI. Consistent with other eBird photos of this hybrid, including no white collar, surprisingly long curled tail, and small cheek patch in contrasting buff color. In April 2023, I reported a similar duck here (S132395492) with scruffier plumage: its cheek patches were even more suggestive of AMWI and I have video of it giving a wigeon-like squeak. This could be the same bird, with cheeks filled in with green except for that small patch. Another possible hybrid would be MALL x NOPI, but photos of this hybrid on eBird and birdhybrids.blogspot typically show an obvious white collar and at least partial white neck stripe, extensive purplish-brown in the head along with the green, and lots of black on top of the bill, none of which this bird has.
