A Northern Shoveler x Blue-winged Teal at Montezuma NWR, Texas (5/9/2011). Photographer comments: "Perhaps possible to pass the bird off as transitional plumaged Northern Shoveler, but pattern of spotting on breast and sides never shown by Northern Shoveler. Bird also clearly not in molt. Note internediate almost reddish eye color."
