Default RE: is it a black duck?

ARO, you've killed a black duck. We don't have mottled ducks on the Eastern Shore. The drake and hen black duck both have olive colored bills, but the drake's bill is solid in color and slightly brighter olive, the hen's is mottled with color, much like the hen mallard. We do occasionally get black-mallards where the two species interbreed.
