An excellent inflight shot, Felix!
I would prefer to cut a bit from left & bottom. I would prefer a bit more sharp too... ;D

Dear Felix,

This is an excellent photo. The bird is actually a rather rare sub-species of spot-bill duck, the "Bermese" race A. p. haringtoni. One can distinguish that by the absence of the line that start from the base of the bill on the cheek. Good work to get the underwing pattern.
