Description
An elegant teal, the marbled duck suits its name, having a brown body speckled with cream. Its dark eye-patch blends into a broad stripe from the eye to the nape, including a slight crest on the back of the head. With its low, slow flight and noticeably long neck and wings, this duck is identifiable in flight. Displaying males give a squeaking 'jeep', but this species is otherwise quiet (2).
