i am new to duck hunting, so this may be a silly question.
i shot a duck this week, that appears to me to be a black duck hen.
it has all the features of a black duck hen, olive colored bill, orange legs, but the speculum seems to be green, rather then blue.
so is this a black duck?
could it possibly be a mottled drake?

the duck was shot in the eastern shore of maryland.
