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.

Post by: jgoetz on January 06, 2016, 07:09:54 PM: 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.
