Description

Classification: Genus Pteronetta (Pteronetta); Subfamily Dabbling ducks plus extinct (Anatinae); Family Waterfowl (Anatidae)
General: Hartlaub's duck (Pteronetta hartlaubii) is a dark chestnut-coloured duck of African forests. Formerly included in the paraphyletic "perching duck" assemblage, it was later moved to the dabbling duck assemblage.^[2] However, it is fairly distinct from the "typical" dabbling ducks, and is placed in the monotypic genus Pteronetta to reflect this.
