RTHawk_3548by hahn23Comment: Originally posted by scooter97: Good shot! I always look for the black leading edge on the underside of the wings. |
Thanks! That dark leading edge on the wings is called the patagial marks. It is the key field ID marking for the RTH. Only the RTH has patagial marks. |

Ruddy Duck?by cdpayneComment: Good photo. I think the female also based on lak of color.... but the markings are that of the male. A female would have a dark line across the cheek. Maybe the light. Maybe a juvenile. |

Mallard Duckby cdpayneComment: That luminescence of the head feathers can produce a rainbow of colors, based on the light angle. Good one! |

Hybrid Mallard Duckby cdpayneComment: Well, it's a male, but I've never seen this coloration in a Mallard. Could certainly be a hybrid version. |
