I wish I had killed it but i didn't
The kids had no idea what it was, and the bird was pretty tore up.

the elusive hybrid between a Mallard and Gadwall. To bad it's beat up, would of made a good mount.

Bill and tail make's me think Pintail.

i too think pintail with the green wing patches and tail but an awesome duck whatever it is

sucks that it got shot up! Congrats on the hybrid!

Congratulations! We have killed a couple over the years. I remember looking down when the dog brought it in and saying "WTF????"

How does it get characteristics from MALE mallard and MALE pintail. Is this a result of some type of homo breeding. ?

Mallard X Baldpate cross

I am sorry if i confused yall.
Didn't put this up for debate.
Its a Brewers. Gadwal / Mallard
google it if you want pictures of others like it.

How does that give u green speculum and a short sprig?

cool, a buddy and i shot one last year, luckily it wasn't shot up bad at all and it turned out to be an awsome mount

Some random images I found on the web.

Nice duck. Its a Brewer's duck. Pintail hybrids almost always have blue bills per the biologist I talked with when we shot this Brewer's duck. This one has a little spring and no curls, too. All Brewers are like that, I am told. I am sure Pat Pitt can chime in with much more information.

Here is a pintail/mallard cross

If I had to guess, it is the mallard curlies that did not curl because of the gadwal genes.
