Green-winged Teals, male, Eurasian (right) and North American

Shoreline Park

The Eurasian Green-winged Teal was formerly considered a separate species; now it is treated as a subspecies of the Green-winged Teal, Anas crecca. This picture illustrates the main difference between the two forms, the placement of the white stripe on the duck's side.
