Title: Duck hunting identification help
Post by: g8rvet on November 02, 2025, 09:31:39 PM
Any hard core duck hunters here able to give me an opinion on species?  Killed in a field in Saskatchewan.  I know what I think it is, would just like some other opinions.

Note the olive bill.  The lack of a any white on the chest, pure brown like a hen mallard.  Not a spec of green anywhere on the head, did not see a single mallard drake that did not have at least a few green spots.

Black Duck. Here's a couple I killed a few years ago for reference. We don't see many here in KY

wing patch is that of a mallard. Either real young mallard or possible mutant mallard/ black.
