General: The mottled duck (Anas fulvigula)^{[note 1]} or mottled mallard is a medium-sized dabbling duck. It is intermediate in appearance between the female mallard and the American black duck. It is closely related to those species, and is sometimes considered a subspecies of the former, but this is inappropriate (see Systematics below). [more]
