Indian Spot-Billed Duck (F)
This duck is around the same size as a Mallard and is a quite gregarious resident throughout India in freshwater wetlands. They tend to avoid very large patches of open water and prefer medium-sized wetlands with vegetation cover. They feed by dabbling for plant food mainly in the evening or at night. As seen here the female does not have the red spot on the base of the bill like the males do.
