text: Hybrid Pintail Lloyd Lake
  I've been seeing a lot of reports of the supposed eclipse male Northern Pintail at Lloyd Lake that is molting to adult plumage. In the photos I've been seeing, it doesn't look to me like a pure pintail. Some things that seem wrong for pure pintail are the Rufous/brown feathers coming in on the breast. The breast of a pure pintail should be bright white, but this seems to indicate a Mallard X Pintail hybrid. Plus the head feathers molting in look blackish/iridescent which is completely wrong or Pintail. Again, points to Mallard X Pintail hybrid. Graeme Colmer's photos show this very well, checklist linked here.

  We're the wings clipped? If domestic hybrid that was dumped, it may have a clipped wing. Otherwise a wild hybrid?
