This is a female Eurasian Teal. Note that the speculum in the wing is glossy green (would be white in a gadwall), and also the white side to the tail (which is a very useful feature of female teal).
The bill pattern is vaguely similar between the two, with orange at the sides of a dark bill, but notice that on this bird the orange is at the base only, while on gawall it would be brighter and broader along the whole of the bill. Author: irsychan Time: 18/09/2016 22:37
Thank you, ajohn, for the correction.
I actually also have doubt because Gadwall should not have green feather. Author: irsychan Time: 19/09/2016 13:26
