Duck ID

Other than sea ducks and a bufflehead, i think we have the drakes covered.  Anyone have pics and help identifying some hens?

I shoot hens:

Pintail hen, pintail hen, pintail drake, pintail drake, Canada goose (Western), mallard drake, mallard drake, mallard hen

What's up with mutation on the bill?

Very observant, your the first to notice that.  This just occurs on male Ross geese.  The older the male Ross goose get's the more "warted up" the bill gets.  That one had enough buildup that I thought it would make a cool mount.  Most do not get that pronounced and heavily warted up.
