That is a hen ring necked duck. It is probably a young 'bird of the year', but there is no doubt in my mind that it is a ringneck. You'll notice the bit of white shading on the face, that is a dead giveaway for a ring neck hen.
I'm pretty sure you mean thats a dead giveaway for a BLUEBILL hen... However I do agree, that duck is either a ringneck or a bluebill.

Buck get a dna sample and send it to the laboratory! That will probably be the only way we'll find out. [8D]

Here is a ring neck that I shot on Mon. Not a bad picture, the bill gave it away for me.

The ringneck hen and bluebill hen both have the white shading or cheekpatches on the face but the bill being so dark leads me to believe its a ringneck. We kill a ton of them every year.

Chris is right, now I'll have to pay the $3,000 lab fee ... [:'(]


NOT!


I'll be rest assured that it was atleast a duck!
