Anas gibberifrons gracilis   This is a mottled brown duck with
white and green flashes on its wings. The male and female grey
teal share the same colouration, in contrast to the related
chestnut teal, whose male and female are strikingly different.
The grey teal has almost identical colouration to the female
chestnut teal and the Grey can only be distinguished by its
lighter coloured neck and paler face. Juveniles are paler than
adults, especially on the head.     It was formerly considered a
subspecies of the Sunda teal, as Anas gibberifrons gracilis.
Widespread throughout its large range, the grey teal is
evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red L
