Brazilian Teal Amazonetta brasiliensis

Also known as Brazilian Duck, this is another species I have seen in several wildfowl collections, but not yet in the wild. There are two subspecies - I *think* these belong to the nominate race brasiliensis, sometimes known as Lesser Brazilian Teal, rather than ipecutiri (Greater Brazilian Teal).
