Wotzis?

["Philip Veerman" <>]

My immediate reaction was exactly the same as Beth’s suggestion, specifically a close up of part of a chest feather of a male Maned Duck. It would be easy to check, I have some samples but I’m not going to look now. However it may well be something completely different and without knowing that it is from an Australian bird, that makes it wide open to many possibilities if it is not Australian.
