2012-11-17 Estero Palo Verde (El Tortugario - 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. |

2012-11-22 Laguna Zapotlán (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. |
