Go NORTHERN with PINTAIL

This February I would like to point towards the NORTHERN PINTAIL { Anas acuta}.

It's size is about that of a domestic bird.

The Males are:

1. Having upper part penciled grey.
   


2. Head Chocolate
   


3. White band on either side running down into the white neck and underparts.
   


4. AND MOST IMPORTANT a pointed pin like Tail.
   

The Females are:

1. Mottled brown in color.
   


2. Buff with characteristic elongated body and tapering tail.
   

Usually male and female are found in a couple so you can easily have a look of both he sexes if spotted one in a water body.

In the Photo the front one is a Female and the one behind is a Male Pintail.

Hope you got it.

And remember that I am always ready to help you.
