Chiloé Wigeon

Taken at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Arundel, West Sussex, before it closed due to Covid-19.

Also known as the Southern Wigeon, is one of three extant species of wigeon in the genus Mareca of the dabbling duck subfamily. This bird is indigenous to the southern part of South America, including the Chiloé Archipelago. (Wikipedia)

This one's really pretty! I cannot remember having ever seen this even though it's common in most parts of Chile, not only on Chiloé.
