	63 (1 photos) 2008-10-17 Presa México, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes (Agu), Mexico Males and female flying.
	1043 (1 photos) 2010-09-26 Presa La Colorada, El Llano, Aguascalientes (Agu), Mexico Males and females in eclipse plumage. The males retain the stronger body color and also shows a stronger white band behind the blue wing patch. Here with Least Sandpiper. and Lesser Yellowlegs.
	1044 (1 photos) 2012-01-31 El Peregrino, Cd. Colima, Colima (Col), Mexico Young male with juvenile type body and weakly marked adult head.
	1045 (1 photos) 2012-01-31 El Peregrino, Cd. Colima, Colima (Col), Mexico Female, probably 2cy. Very gray bird. The black spots on the bill indicate the age. Young birds have few as seen here.
	1046 (1 photos) 2012-04-21 El Tortugario - Estero Palo Verde, Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Adult male.
	808 (1 photos) 2012-11-17 El Tortugario - Estero Palo Verde, Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Female. Strong markings and spot at base of bill.
	812 (1 photos) 2012-11-17 El Tortugario - Estero Palo Verde, Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Female.
	1047 (1 photos) 2012-11-17 El Tortugario - Estero Palo Verde, Cuyutlán, Colima (Col), Mexico Females. The rear bird looks more golden and with a longer bill giving associations toward Cinnamon. But as far as I recall the bird on photo 812 is the same as the front bird. Here the light is more chilly, which makes me believe that both birds most likely are Blue-winged.
	807 (1 photos) 2012-11-22 Laguna Zapotlán, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico Female type. Perhaps young birds. Difficult light but it is perceivable that they look strongly marked - contrary of what would be expected of Cinnamon Teals.
