Duck ID

Post by Antonsrkn »

Hi all, I just got from Kauai, Hawaii. I took this photo thinking it was a hawaiian duck but I took a look on google and its clearly not. I think its just some domesticated duck which is of no interest to me, but I figured I would ask on here and figure out what it is I have a photo of and make sure its not some migrant species or something.

Thanks for your help!

I looks like a Tree duck of some sort.

I think it's a immature White-faced Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna viduata)

Probably an escape from captivity or introduced duck ??

This specie is found in the wild in South Americe & Africa.
