Location: Flagstaff Hill Golf Club  Flagstaff Hill S.A.  (on island in &th.

Pacific Black Duck (Anas superciliosa) (1) Completely unknown variation ( if it 
is a P.B.Duck).

Photos taken but I don't know how to show them.

Bird......Duck / Teal........Size, nearer Black D. than Coot.... Head Glaringly 
white with a very dark line through eye, ( not a supercillium ) , a small 
black, tapered chin / gape matching the eye line in colour and mottled grey 
cap.....Neck and breast glaringly white,

 centre of 'tummy' not seen but vent / rump also white.....Sides of breast 
dappled light chestnut (?) darkening further back with wings a medium dark 
brown with markings somewhat similar to Pac. Black Duck or Grey Teal .....Tail 
not clearly seen but feather's  seemed to be white tipped.....Legs quite 
Mallard in colour......Bill quite distinctive, ( I think ), base a slate grey 
with a clear delineation about half way down with remainder greenish.

Coloured parts rather different to anything I've seen but the white is quite 
outstanding..... Initially seen with Coots and Black Ducks but 2 hrs. later 
resting alone.

With luck someone will tell me how to download photos.   If not, please feel 
free to contact me as my wife and I would love to know what it is or could be.
