The See also:female closely resembles the See also:hen teal, but possesses no wing-spot.

Though it breeds in many parts of See also:Europe, in none can it be said to be common; but it ranges far to the eastward in Asia—even to See also:Formosa, according to Swinhoe—and yearly visits See also:India in See also:winter in enormous See also:numbers.
