African yellow-billed duck
Adult yellow-billed ducks are streaked blackish-gray on the head and neck regions. The dorsal (back) feathers are typically blackish-brown and scaled in appearance, while the lower feathers are mostly brown or tan in color. Like the mallard, these ducks have a metallic-green speculum bordered by black and white edging. As indicated by its name, the yellow-billed duck has a bright yellow bill with a black patch and black edging on the upper mandible. Females are almost identical in appearance to males except for a somewhat duller feather and bill coloration and a slightly smaller size.
This species has an extremely large range and can be found in Angola, Botswana, Burundi, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
