I think I got it.  Other than normal male and female adults, there is also non-breeding male adult which I guess will look more like a female than a male.
Then another question comes to my mind immediately.  Is it the Northern Shoveler himself chooses not to mate or due to some physical/healthy conditions it becomes non-breeding?
Thanks everybody anyway.  Samuel
