Need some help here. Shot this duck today and at first thought pintail hen. Now looking closer I'm not too sure.

Looks like a Pintail Hen to me

Other thought was American wigeon.

Immature drake wigeon for sure.

Turn it over pintail hen will be brown underneath and a widgeon will be white

Wigeon hen or eclipse wigeon drake. I would just have to see a few more pics of the head and belly.

Leaning towards a hen.

It has some drake feathers on its back and has black feathers coming in around its tail. Also, the wing patches are bigger than any hen ive ever shot.

Drake gadwall

Immature Drake Widgeon. Look at the head. The kind of spotty speckly pattern is indicative of a widgeon. The black tail and grey feet point to widgeon as well. The last thing is the speculum. Solid black is widgeon. A gadwall will have a chocolate brown speculem.

No square white patch on the trailing edge of the wing.
