Male Mandarin Duck - Aix galericulata

            Exotic-looking duck of Southeast Asian origin. The female of this species are dark grey-brown and are mottled paler on the sides with fine white spectacles. In China these ducks are called Yuan-Yuang meaning odd couple because of the difference in the way the two sexes look.
